Apr 7, 2020 at 3:00 comment added Adam Thank you, Anubhav and Ian. Somehow I missed it, but indeed requiring M irreducible makes the question more interesting :-)
Apr 7, 2020 at 2:59 comment added Ian Agol Agreed. The answer would be more clear if you just drew a 2 component unlink with p/q surgery on one component.
Apr 7, 2020 at 2:08 comment added Anubhav Mukherjee Yes, that question would be more interesting. But the way he asked, I think this is a quick counter example.
Apr 7, 2020 at 1:46 comment added Ian Agol That is an unknot in L(p,q), so is reducible. Probably @Adam should assume the manifold is irreducible to avoid such examples.
