Yaroslav Hunka, right, fought with a Nazi unit in the Second World War. House Speaker Anthony Rota apologized and resigned for inviting him to Parliament. Desai was in the audience as Putin delivered his annual speech at the Valdai Discussion Club, a Russian think tank that is holding its annual meeting in the Russian city on the Black Sea coast.
During his criticism of Rota, Putin noted that he didn't want to say "anything negative about Canada [or] especially its people." In an interview with CBC News, Desai said she has attended Valdai Discussion Club forums before and was required to submit her question to the moderators ahead of time, so she doesn't understand why Putin said he didn't agree to it.Desai said she believes it was important to raise the issue as she thinks "anti-Russian propaganda has been wall to wall in countries like Canada."
