Public Controversies
In 2018, Randeep Sarai was at the center of a controversy during Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's official trip to India. Jaspal Atwal, a man who had been convicted for the attempted murder of an Indian cabinet minister in 1986, was invited to two events with the Prime Minister. Sarai reportedly took responsibility for adding Atwal's name to the guest list. Following widespread media coverage and criticism, Sarai issued a public apology for his role in the matter. He stated that he should have exercised better judgment and performed more due diligence. As a result of the controversy, he resigned from his position as the chair of the Liberal Party's Pacific Caucus.
