Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Friday, ahead of his meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and an extended bilateral meeting along with a group of his ministers. Trudeau's maiden India visit plunged into another controversy on Thursday because of a dinner invitation to convicted Khalistani terrorist Jaspal Atwal by the Canadian High Commissioner to India.

On Friday morning, Prime Minister Modi received Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau and his family at the Rashtrapati Bhawan. Greeting the visiting head of state, PM Modi gave Trudeau his famous bear hug. After being welcomed at the Rashtrapati Bhawan, Trudeau and his family paid their tributes to Mahatma Gandhi at Rajghat.

After his meeting with Prime Minister Modi, the Canadian Prime Minister will also meet the heads of India Inc in a round-table event.

While the Khalistan controversy raged, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday evening welcomed Trudeau on his visit and said he looked forward to meeting him on Friday. In a separate tweet, Modi said that he hoped Trudeau had an enjoyable visit to India so far and that he particularly looked forward to meeting Trudeau's three children Xavier, Ella-Grace, and Hadrien.

PM Modi also posted a picture of him along with Trudeau and Ella-Grace during his visit to Canada 
in April 2015.

Responding to PM Modi's welcome tweet, Trudeau tweeted back that his daughter Ella-Grace remembered the occasion on which the photo was taken and that his visit to India had been "great" so far. "We'll see you today," the Canadian Prime Minister said.

Ahead of Friday's meetings, reports had emerged that Atwal was invited to a formal dinner with the Canadian Prime Minister, hosted by the Canadian High Commissioner, on Thursday in New Delhi. 
Atwal's dinner invitation was subsequently cancelled.

Here are the top 10 developments in the matter:
