Canada's Parliament observed a moment of silence for Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar on the first anniversary of his death. Nijjar was killed in a targeted shooting in Surrey, Canada. India reacted by announcing a memorial for the 329 victims of the 1985 Air India bombing. Nijjar, listed as a terrorist by India, led the Khalistan Tiger Force. His activities strained India-Canada relations. Despite Nijjar's controversial past, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called him a Canadian national. India has repeatedly voiced concerns over Nijjar’s actions, including his involvement in the 2017 Ludhiana blast.
