Canadian House of Commons Speaker Apologises for Honoring Controversial WWII Figure | Oneindia News

Following Canada PM Justin Trudeau's allegations of Indian involvement in Nijjar killing, another Canadian controversy emerges.

The speaker of Canada's House of Commons issued an apology for commending an individual during a parliamentary meeting who had served in a Nazi unit during World War Two.

Just two days prior, Speaker Anthony Rota had publicly acknowledged 98-year-old Yaroslav Hunka as a "Ukrainian hero" within the Canadian Parliament.

It was later revealed that Hunka had served in World War II as a member of the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS.

This revelation came to light following demands for an apology from the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center, a Jewish human rights organisation.
