determined the bombings were carried out by Babbar Khalsa, a B.C. group pushing for the separation of India’s Punjab. And both identified the mastermind as former B.C. resident Talwinder Singh Parmar, who was arrested, tortured and killed by Punjab police in 1992 before charges were laid.

“This was, and remains, the single worst terrorist attack against Canadian citizens in our nation’s history,” she said in an interview Thursday. “Reading the poll makes it even harder to bear. Not only is Air India a political hot potato, now polls show this terror attack is a fading memory in Canada,” he told Postmedia.

The Angus Reid poll also noted that only one in five respondents correctly identified the Air India attack as one of the worst acts of mass murder in Canadian history.
