Victims of the violence that once plagued Canada’s Sikh community — including the bombing of Air India Flight 182 — want to know why extremist Sikh separatist groups have not been included on the list of terrorist organizations outlawed in Canada.
The European Union has designated Babbar Khalsa and the International Sikh Youth Federation terrorist groups.
Both the United States and the United Kingdom have ordered banks to block the assets of these organizations.
But while the Canadian government has frozen the assets of more than 200 groups — from Northern Ireland’s Real IRA to Japan’s Aum Shinrikyo– the two Sikh organizations are absent from either of the two lists of terrorist organizations issued by the federal solicitor general’s office.
The latest list of seven was issued Tuesday by Solicitor General Lawrence MacAulay. It is now illegal to associate with those terrorist groups.
Some have accused the Babbar Khalsa and the International Sikh Youth Federation of involvement in the death of 329 people — most of them Canadians — aboard the Air India flight that went down on June 23, 1985.
