Delhi Conference: Defence Minister and Operation Medusa

delhi conference: As many of you know, at the New Delhi conference, our defence minister was speaking about his role as a lieutenant-colonel in Canada's Armed Forces during his deployment in Afghanistan, according to Huffington Post Canada. He made news in Canada and abroad when he claimed to be the architect of Operation Medusa, a major and successful anti-Taliban offensive operation. Defence Minister Sajjan's serious misstep in New Delhi on April 18 made for a very awkward House of Commons Question Period this past Monday. Saijan's claim was not only inaccurate, but amounted to a gross exaggeration of what was his well-documented role in this operation. Canada's Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan speaks during Question Period in the House of Commons on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, May 1, 2017. This whopper of a tall tale has left many baffled that such a high-ranking minister in our government could even conceive of so blatantly exaggerating his role is such a well-known, well-understood and significant chapter of Canadian military history.
