Petition to the House of Commons
- The Air India bombings of June 23, 1985, that left 331 people dead was the worst tragedy in the history of aviation terror before 9/11;
- The victims’ families continue to wait for justice and closure;
- The Sikhs in Canada widely believe that this was the handiwork of a foreign intelligence to discredit their political activism and undermine their advocacy work for human rights in India;
- The recent developments within the Sikh community in British Columbia give credence to this perception;
- The Canadian government is looking into growing foreign interference in its political affairs;
- The Sikhs are living under fear since the murder of Surrey Delta Gurdwara President Hardeep Singh Nijjar in June 2023; and
- On September 18, 2023, the Prime Minister of Canada stated that there are credible allegations of a link between agents of the Government of India and the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
