Canada: NDP's Jagmeet Singh involved in confrontation after being called 'corrupted b*****d' - VIDEO
NDP's Jagmeet Singh involved in confrontation
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".
The incident took place on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Tuesday (Sep 17) when Singh was around a pair of protesters.
"Are you voting non-confidence today?” said one, while another added,“Corrupted b*****d."
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.
“Who said that?” Singh could be heard as saying as he walked back towards the hecklers. “You got something to say?”
After unsuccessfully asking the group to point towards the 'gentleman' who used the unsavoury language, Singh said,“You’re a coward, you’re not going to say it to my face,” before turning to walk away.

The Canadian political landscape was thrown into a tizzy after Singh's NDP withdrew its support to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal government.
The NDP's support was crucial for the Liberal government, allowing it to maintain power through a confidence-and-supply agreement established in 2022. Singh's support to Trudeau's government had caused controversy as he allegedly supports the Khalistani separatist cause.
Meanwhile, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said his party plans to put forward a non-confidence motion at the earliest possible opportunity in hopes of bringing down the Liberal government.
