Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau easily survived a vote of confidence on Wednesday after his main political rival failed to muster enough support to end nine years of Liberal Party rule. Legislators in the House of Commons voted 211-120 to defeat a motion by the official opposition Conservative party declaring a lack of confidence in Trudeau's minority Liberal government.

<p>The New Democratic Party (NDP) leader Jagmeet Singh was involved in a confrontation outside the Canadian Parliament after someone accused him of being a "corrupted b*****d".&nbsp;</p>

<p>The incident took place on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Tuesday (Sep 17) when Singh was around a pair of protesters.</p>

<p>"Are you voting non-confidence today?” said one, while another added,&nbsp;“Corrupted b*****d."</p>

<p>The video of the kerfuffle went viral on social media and showed a visibly angry Singh turning around and getting in one of the men's faces who addressed him using the vulgar term.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“Who said that?” Singh could be heard as saying as he walked back towards the hecklers. “You got something to say?”</p>

<p>After unsuccessfully asking the group to point towards the 'gentleman' who used the unsavoury language, Singh said,&nbsp;“You’re a coward, you’re not going to say it to my face,” before turning to walk away.</p>

<p>A spokesperson for the NDP said that protesters gathered outside the parliament had been "intimidating" and "harassing" politicians, their staff and others.</p>

<p>"Jagmeet Singh does not tolerate bullies and does not condone violence," the spokesperson said in an email.</p>

<p>In another assassination float, the pro-Khalistan radical group&nbsp;in Canada, on Saturday, took out rallies to honour and commemorate the assassin of then Punjab Chief Minister Beant Singh in 1995.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As August 31 marked the 29th anniversary of former Punjab CM Beant Singh's assassination by Khalistani terrorists, the pro-Khalistani elements took the floats to the Indian Consulate in Vancouver, depicting the assassination in a bombed car, splashed with blood and with CM's photographs.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“Beanta Bombed to Death,”&nbsp;the float read, while also paying homage to his killer Dilawar Singh Babbar, the suicide bomber.</p>

<p>Beant Singh was killed on August 31, 1995. Meanwhile, his appointment as Punjab CM came at a time when Punjab was witnessing increased instability.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On Saturday, a similar rally was held in Toronto. It was led by Inderjeet Singh Gosal, who described campaigners for the so-called Khalistan Referendum as "offspring" of Dilawar Singh.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Similar parade held in June</strong>&nbsp;</h2>
