Today marks the 39th anniversary of the Air India Flight 182 ‘Kanishka’ bombing, a tragic incident that claimed 329 lives. External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar paid tribute to the victims, emphasizing the ongoing need to combat terrorism. The flight exploded mid-air on June 23, 1985, en route from Montreal to London, due to a bomb hidden in cargo. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) continue to investigate, calling it Canada’s most extensive domestic terrorism probe. Despite arrests and trials, justice remains elusive for many families affected by one of Canada’s deadliest acts of terrorism.
