Strained ties
- India stands at the forefront of countering the menace of terrorism and works closely with all nations to tackle this global threat, India's Consulate General in Vancouver said on Wednesday.
- The remark comes after
Canada 's parliament marked the first death anniversary of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar by holding a moment of silence in the House of Commons.
- The consulate announced that it will be holding a memorial service on June 23 at the Air India Memorial at Stanley Park in Vancouver.
- It encouraged members of the Indian diaspora to join the event in a show of "solidarity against terrorism".
- "June 23 marks the 39th anniversary of the cowardly terrorist bombing of Air India flight 182 (Kanishka), in which 329 innocent victims, including 86 children, lost their lives in one of the most heinous terror-related air disasters in the history of civil aviation," said the Consulate General of India in Vancouver.
- The bombing was blamed on Sikh militants in retaliation to 'Operation Bluestar'.
- Nijjar, the chief of
Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF), was killed in a targeted shooting in Canada's Surrey, outside British Columbia's Gurudwara, on June 18 last year. - His name was on the list released by the Indian government with 40 other 'designated terrorists'.
- Four Indian nationals, including Karan Brar, Amandeep Singh, Kamalpreet Singh, and Karanpreet Singh, are accused of killing Nijjar.
- Canadian Prime Minister
Justin Trudeau alleged in September last year of the "potential" involvement of Indian agents in the killing of Nijjar. - India has dismissed Trudeau's allegations as "absurd and motivated".
- India has been maintaining that the main issue between the two countries is that of Canada giving space to pro-Khalistan elements operating from Canadian soil with impunity.
