No government should overlook threat of terrorism emanating from its territories for political gains: Indian envoy to Canada

The Hindu  

Terming the frequent acts glorifying militancy in Canada as “deplorable”, India has emphasised that no government in the world should overlook the threat of terrorism emanating from its territories for political gains. In a statement on the 39th anniversary of the 1985 Kanishka bombing, in which 329 persons, most of them Canadians of Indian descent, on board an Air India flight lost their lives, the Indian High Commission in Ottawa said that terrorism knows “no borders, nationality, or race”. The Indian High Commission in Ottawa and the consulates of India in Toronto and Vancouver organised memorial services on June 23 and solemnly remembered the victims of the "dastardly act of terror" in 1985. “While thirty-nine years have passed since the cowardly act, terrorism has unfortunately assumed proportions of an existential threat to international peace and security today,” the Indian High Commission’s statement said. It called the spirit of the Minister's statement from his speech at the United Nations General Assembly last year the "best tribute" to the victims of Air India Flight 182 bombing.
