The recent actions of the Canadian Parliament have caused a stir in India, as they chose to honor a known Khalistani terrorist. In response, the Indian Consulate in Vancouver took to social media to remind the world of the tragedy that occurred on Air India flight 182. This flight bombing, which took place on June 23, 1985, resulted in the death of 329 innocent individuals, including 86 children. The Consulate's post emphasized that India is actively working with other nations to combat the ongoing threat of terrorism.
On June 23, 2024, the 39th anniversary of this horrific event, the Consulate will hold a Memorial Service at Stanley Park's Ceperley Playground area. The Consulate also encourages members of the Indian Diaspora to attend the event and stand in solidarity against terrorism. This serves as a powerful reminder that India remains steadfast in the fight against this global threat.
Meanwhile, the Canadian Parliament chose to observe a moment of silence for Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, on the first anniversary of his death. This decision has caused tension between the two nations, as Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently expressed his desire to engage with the new Indian government and work towards common goals. However, this has been overshadowed by the ongoing issue of Canada giving refuge to pro-Khalistan elements who continue to operate with impunity.
It is worth noting that Nijjar, who was designated as a terrorist under the Unlawful Activities Act, was killed in Surrey, Canada on June 18, 2023. Canada has made allegations against Indian officials being involved in his death, but have yet to provide any evidence. This has further strained the relationship between the two countries. India has consistently raised concerns about Canada's lack of action against pro-Khalistan elements, which has been the main issue between the two nations.
As India stands firm in its fight against terrorism, it hopes for a meaningful and productive relationship with Canada. The Consulate's post serves as a poignant reminder of the consequences of terrorism and the importance of standing in unity against such acts.
