Plane Snag Keeps Justin Trudeau In India Hours After Criticism From PM Modi

Relations between the two countries have been tense, and Justin Trudeau and PM Modi did not hold a formal bilateral meeting at the summit.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Canadian delegation are stuck in New Delhi after his aircraft experienced technical issues, an inauspicious end to a trip that included criticism from the Indian government. 

Trudeau, government staff and journalists traveling with the prime minister were set to leave India on Sunday night after the Group of 20 leaders' summit. It's unclear when and how they will be able to depart the country. "These issues are not fixable overnight, our delegation will be staying in India until alternate arrangements are made," a statement from Trudeau's office said.

Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi leveled criticism at Canada for allegedly allowing Sikh secessionist groups to operate in the country. PM Modi conveyed "strong concerns about continuing anti-India activities of extremist elements in Canada," India's Foreign Ministry said in a statement after a sideline conversation between the two leaders.
