Union Minister Piyush Goyal paid tribute in Canada to the victims of the Air India Flight 182 bombing, one of the deadliest acts of aviation terrorism in history. The tragedy occurred on June 23, 1985, when the aircraft exploded mid-air off the coast of Ireland, killing all 329 people on board, most of them of Indian origin.
Speaking at the memorial, Goyal honored the memory of the victims and expressed solidarity with their families. He emphasized that the attack remains a painful reminder of the global threat of terrorism and the need for continued vigilance and cooperation between nations.
The tribute also highlighted India’s commitment to ensuring that such tragedies are never forgotten and that justice and remembrance remain central to honoring those who lost their lives. The Air India Flight 182 bombing is remembered as a defining moment in aviation security and counter-terrorism efforts worldwide.
Goyal’s gesture in Canada underscores the enduring bond between India and the Indian diaspora, reaffirming the nation’s resolve to stand against terrorism and to preserve the memory of those who perished in the attack.
