Prime Minister Imran Khan on Sunday commended his Canadian counterpart Justin Trudeau for his “unequivocal condemnation” of Islamophobia and emphasised a concerted approach to “put an end to this menace”.
The premier’s remarks come a day after Trudeau called out Islamophobia in a message on Twitter and announced the appointment of a special representative to combat it.
“Islamophobia is unacceptable. We need to put an end to this hate and make our communities safer for Muslim Canadians,” Trudeau wrote in a tweet.
Imran welcomed Trudeau’s plan to tackle the “contemporary scourge”. The prime minister recalled that a timely call for action from Trudeau resonated with what he had been long arguing.
