Kanishka Bombing: Canadian MP flays petition for fresh probe

Canadian MP of Indian origin Chandra Arya has criticised a petition seeking a fresh inquiry into the bombing of Air India Flight 182 of 1985 to determine the involvement of any “foreign intelligence”, alleging that it promotes “conspiracy theories” of Khalistani extremists.

The Montreal-New Delhi Air India ‘Kanishka’ Flight 182 exploded 45 minutes before it was to land at Heathrow Airport on June 23, 1985, killing all 329 people on board.
