IN YET another instance of pro-Khalistan activism on foreign soil, posters of a rally glorifying Talwinder Parmer, the alleged mastermind of the bombing of the 1985 Air India flight ‘Emperor Kanishka’ that killed more than 320 people, were seen across several places in Canada.
The poster referred to the separatist leader as ‘Shaheed Bhai Talwinder Parmer’ and advertised a car rally which is scheduled for June 25 at 12.30 pm local time.
After UK, India’s NIA to probe attacks on diplomatic missions in Canada, US
The 38th anniversary of the bombing falls on June 23, two days before the event. The plane was blown midair off the coast of Ireland while flying from Montreal to London.
The poster also sought a probe into India’ role in the air disaster.
The latest development comes amid anti-India activities carried out by Khalistan supporters in a number of western democracies, including Canada, US, UK and Australia.
Indian diplomatic missions in all the abovementioned countries were targeted by pro-Khalistan supporters after the police in India’s Punjab launched a manhunt for Sikh separatist preacher Amritpal Singh in March. India has strongly protested over the attacks and its National Investigation Agency has taken over probe into the attacks on Indian mission in the UK, Canada and the US.
Retired British-Canadian journalist Terry Milewski, who has authored the book ‘Blood for Blood – Fifty Years of the Global Khalistan Project’, said Canadian Khalistanis have again picked Parmar as their poster boy. He also called the late separatist leader “a psychopath who bombed Air India”.
Ensuring that their reputation stays at rock-bottom, Canadian Khalistanis again pick as their poster boy the psychopath who bombed Air India, Talwinder Parmar. He murdered 331 innocents for nothing. And – a grotesque twist – he'll be honoured at the memorial to his victims. 1/2 pic.twitter.com/7feI5UDCQb

It's another mad bid to whitewash Canada's worst-ever mass-murderer by demanding that Canada "investigate India's role" in the bombing. But decades of investigations proved that India had no such role and that Parmar led the bomb plot. The rally is about spreading a lie. 2/2
