The special plane of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau faced a technical snag, which he took to return to his country after attending the G20 summit in India. The sudden fault forced the PM and the entire delegation to wait until the engineering teams allowed them to fly. 

"A special plane of Canada PM suffered a technical glitch and it's not in the schedule to fly," news agency ANI reported citing Airport sources.

"Upon our departure for the airport, we were made aware by the Canadian Armed Forces that CFC001 was experiencing technical issues," the Prime Minister's office also confirmed in a statement, according to CTV News.

"These issues are not fixable overnight, our delegation will be staying in India until alternate arrangements are made," the statement added, according to Canada-based news.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Friday arrived in India to attend the G20 Summit.

Trudeau at the conclusion of the two-day G20 Leaders' Summit emphasized that India is an important partner for Canada and we will continue to work towards it.

"We recognize India as an extraordinarily important economy in the world and an important partner for Canada on everything, from fighting climate change to creating growth and prosperity for citizens. There is always a lot of work to do and we will continue to do it," Trudeau said. (Please note: Select travelling media were allowed in the press conference)

Earlier on Sunday, Trudeau highlighted the issue of Khalistani protests.

Trudeau said that he had many conversations with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the issue of Khalistan extremism and foreign interference, and Ottawa will always defend freedom of expression, and at the same time will always be there to prevent violence.

He further emphasized that the actions of the few do not represent the entire community or Canada.
