The Democracy News :- The Canadian Parliament on Tuesday paid homage to Hardeep Singh Nijjar in the House of Commons on his first death anniversary. In response to this, India has also organized an event in Canada on June 23 to commemorate the dastardly terrorist attack on Air India's Montreal- New Delhi Kanishka Flight 182.
The Consulate General of India is organizing the 39th Commemoration Day event and has called upon the people of Indian origin in Canada to share in the event to show solidarity against terrorism. The Air India aeroplane
exploded 45 twinkles before landing at London's Heathrow Airport on June 23, 1985.
All 329 people on board, utmost of them Canadians, were killed. The Kanishka bombing was the deadliest air terror attack in the history of civil aeronautics. The attack was in retribution to Operation Blue Star at the Golden Temple in 1984. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had in September last time contended India's possible involvement in the payoff of Sikh terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
Amid pressures between the two countries over the issue of Khalistani terrorism, the Canadian Parliament on Tuesday paid paeans to Nijjar. It's in this background that India has organised this honorary event. The event will be held at the Air India Memorial at the Ceperley Ground, Stanley Park, Vancouver on June 23 at 6:30 pm.
While reminding the world of the Kanishka bombing, India is at the van of combating the global imminence of terrorism. The Consulate General of India in Vancouver(Canada) said on' X' that it's working with all nations to combat the global trouble like terrorism.
