Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau created quite a spectacle at the G20 summit held in Delhi, India. During his visit to Delhi, India, Justin Trudeau stayed at Hotel Lalit, which is considered a symbol of business and beauty in the Indian capital. The G20 Summit was an important international event in which the leaders of the top 20 economies of the world met.
Lalit Hotels, Delhi is one of the best luxury 5-star hotels in India. The Lalit is the only hotel to have an “Art Junction” – more than any other art gallery. Lalit Hotel is a very luxurious and exclusive hotel and the rooms here have a pleasant and comfortable feel. However, it has been created as a special type of Presidential Suite with personal amenities specifically for visiting political leaders.
India had booked the presidential suite for Trudeau, who came to India for the G20 summit. However, Trudeau’s security team flatly refused to stay in the PM’s suite. India had specially prepared the Presidential Suite keeping in mind the security protocols of the G20 heads of state.
Sources associated with security agencies said that an advanced security shield was installed at Hotel Lalit in Central Delhi where Trudeau was staying. This shield had bulletproof glass with a thick layer of polycarbonate plastic and could withstand sniper bullets. Many other security devices were also installed to make foolproof arrangements. However, Trudeau’s delegation decided not to stay in the suite and chose normal rooms.
It was also revealed that the Canadian contingent had offered to pay for the Presidential Suite despite staying in normal rooms. Sources speculate that Trudeau may have been following the instructions of his security team. The team may have had its own apprehensions in view of the strained relations between the two countries.
Trudeau was able to leave for Canada only after a delay of about 36 hours. Because there was a fault in his plane. The Canadian PM was to leave on the night of September 10 (Sunday), but he got stuck due to a technical glitch. The problem was discovered during the plane’s pre-flight inspection, following which authorities grounded the Airbus plane. The Canadian PM was able to depart on Tuesday (September 12) afternoon after the glitch was resolved and the plane was cleared to take off.
