Oshawa Liberal candidate faces calls to withdraw from race after ‘offensive’ social media posts
Description
February 20, 2025
The World Sikh Organization is calling on the Ontario Liberal Party to withdraw its candidate for Oshawa after an 'offensive' post from one of his social media comments resurfaced. In a post on X, Viresh Bansal wrote, "You can thank India for cleaning trash people. Ask your gay friend @JustinTrudeau to do the same.” It was part of a string of social media comments made by Liberal candidates that the Progressive Conservative campaign recently unearthed. Bansal has apologized for the post, saying his words were "offensive and wrong."
