Canadian Sikh Group Seeks Investigations into 1985 Air India Bombing

TORONTO, Canada—In a press note issued on June 23, the Shiromani Akali Dal Amritsar (SADA) Canada said that it favours the demand for a new Commission to inquire the 1985 Air India bombing.

“We stand in solidarity with the victims and families of the 1985 Air India bombing to demand a new Commission of Inquiry aiming to bring the perpetrators to justice,” Sukhminder Singh Hansra stated in the press note.

“While there were arrests and lengthy court drama, the authorities were never able to bring the people who funded and executed this horrific terrorist attack to justice,” said said Sukhminder Singh Hansra president of SADA Canada. “Previous investigations and inquiries by the federal government have sought to identify gaps in Canada’s security and intelligence system, but scarce little has been done to truly identify the killers.”

On June 23, 1985, 329 innocent people, most of them Canadians, lost their lives in the worst-ever terrorist attack in Canadian history. In 2006 the federal government called a Commission of Inquiry to investigate the bombing. The Commission’s final Report, Air India Flight 182: A Canadian Tragedy, is a damning indictment of actions taken before and after the tragedy. On the 25th anniversary, Prime Minister Stephen Harper apologized on behalf of the Government of Canada and all Canadians for the institutional failings and the treatment of the victims’ families thereafter.

“We’re calling upon the Trudeau government to offer up more than apologies,” added Hansra. “We want justice for the victims and families and the community who is suffering from such stigma for the past 32 years. Demanding justice shouldn’t be seen as a political football to be avoided for fear of dropping the ball. We need courage from our leaders to dig deep, help us find the truth and bring real healing to us all,” the press note states.

“The Shiromani Akali Dal Amritsar Canada will continue lobbying federal members of parliament on the need for a new Commission of Inquiry until action is taken.”

  4. Past Indian Governments at fault, failed it’s people and even now can’t prosecute it’s own MP’s for the genocide of it’s people. Why do they call india the largest democracy in the world, when they clearly covering up their past failures of murder and rape.

  5. Yes a full investigation needs to be done and the Indian government involvement needs to be investigated and the prosecutors need to ask many tough questions like why was so much evidence destroyed by the RCMP???

    • First let us get our justice from the hindu goverment for murdering thousands of young sikh boyz. The western countries listen but does the hindu goverment of india listen and their sikh boot lickers try getting justice for our sikh community in india. Just a thought.

      • It was a REGIME CHANGE done by the EMPIRE after the 2 Anglo-Sikh wars in1845 and 1848.
        An Sikh King Dalip Singh was disposed and his Kingdom was distributed between 2 newly constructed Nations of India and Pakistan in 1947 .
        The CONGRESS party headed by the GANDHI Family were then made NEW RULERS of the newly formed Nation of India .
        The dismantling process is still going on of Punjab by the Empire by Trifurcation of State in 1966 a Genocides -84 and Drugs.
