On the way from Heathrow to Cork…

The dastardly mid air bombing of Air India Kanishka Flight 182 in 1985 which claimed 329 innocent lives off the Irish Coast remains one of the most inhuman acts of terror in aviation history.

I was able to pay tribute to the victims at the Kanishka Memorial at Humber Bay Park in Toronto in September 2019 where I also met family members of several victims who had shared their pain and suffering.

On Monday, 23 June 2025, I will lead an Indian delegation comprising senior Punjab leader Sh @tarunchughbjp Ji, senior leader Sdr @iNarinderRaina Ji, legislators from several states Sdr @ArvinderLovely Ji, Sdr @BaldevAulakh Ji, Sdr @GurveerBrar Ji and Sdr Trilok Singh Cheema Ji, to join the Irish Prime Minister HE @MichealMartinTD, Canadian Minister of Public Safety HE Gary Anandasangaree @gary_srp and others, to pay homage to the victims at an event at the Ahakista Memorial in Cork, Ireland in a solemn moment of remembrance and unity, on the 40th anniversary of the reprehensible Kanishka Bombing:
