For two months, passengers were detained on the ship and denied access to food, water and medical care. When he was forced to return to India, many people were imprisoned or killed, “he said in the statement.“The Komagata Maru Tragedy is a clear reminder of how, in the moments of our history, Canada is less than the values we keep dear. We cannot write the past again, but we should face it; We should face it with purpose, we have to ensure that such an injustice is never repeated, and not to build a strong future, and a strong future is not included, but not a strong future, but not a strong future. The reality has been added, which is a reality – The PM further said that to honor the past, you have to learn from it, and learn from it to work.
