The event is set to mark the "Martyrdom Day" of Talwinder Singh Parmar, the mastermind behind one of the deadliest terrorist attacks in aviation history—the 1985 Air India Flight 182 bombing.
In a move sparking international outrage, the Canadian government under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has come under fire for allowing a Khalistani extremist group to organize an event in Surrey, British Columbia, on October 20. The event is set to mark the "Martyrdom Day" of Talwinder Singh Parmar, the mastermind behind one of the deadliest terrorist attacks in aviation history—the 1985 Air India Flight 182 bombing. The tragic incident, known as the Kanishka bombing, claimed the lives of 329 innocent people, most of them Canadian citizens of Indian origin.
The Air India tragedy is one of the darkest chapters in modern aviation and terrorism history, making this event a bitter reminder for the victims' families who still seek justice and closure decades later.
This decision has sent shockwaves through global diplomatic circles, with critics calling it a disgraceful endorsement of terrorism.
Horrific: Justin Trudeau Govt is willingly allowing Khalistani extremists to organise an event in Surrey on Oct 20th to mark “Martyrdom Day” of Khalistani Terrorist Talwinder Singh Parmar who was Mastermind of 1985 Air India Kanishka Bombing which killed 329 people. Disgusting. pic.twitter.com/WChhAkDoC1
— Aditya Raj Kaul (@AdityaRajKaul)India, in particular, has expressed deep concern over the event. The diplomatic fallout between India and Canada is likely to intensify, given the growing tensions surrounding the Trudeau administration's perceived leniency towards Khalistani elements. For many, this incident marks a tipping point in Canada’s handling of extremist groups on its soil.
Canada's move has triggered outrage with many users terming it as 'blatant glorification of terrorism'.
Shocking: The Trudeau Govt is allowing an event in Surrey on Oct 20th to "honor" Khalistani terrorist Talwinder Singh Parmar, mastermind of the 1985 Air India bombing that killed 329 innocent lives. This blatant glorification of terrorism is disgraceful!

Air India Flight 182 was a passenger flight operating on the Montreal–London–Delhi–Mumbai route, that on 23 June 1985, disintegrated over the Atlantic Ocean as a result of an explosion from a bomb planted by Canadian Sikh terrorists.
The bombing of Air India Flight 182 is the worst terrorist attack in Canadian history, the deadliest aviation incident in the history of Air India and was the world's deadliest act of aviation terrorism until the September 11 attacks in 2001. The mastermind behind the bombing was believed to be Inderjit Singh Reyat, a dual British-Canadian national, who pleaded guilty in 2003 and Talwinder Singh Parmar, a Canadian Sikh separatist leader, who was one of the key individuals associated with the militant group Babbar Khalsa.
