Today, June 23, is the 25th anniversary of the Air India Flight 182 crash over Ireland, allegedly by Sikh extremists in Canada. There was one Goan from Canada who perished on the flight. He was Anthony Desa. Among the more than 100 victims, there is one R. D'Souza and, I think, his first name is Ronald. But he was possibly from the US who came to Toronto to take the connecting flight to India. Not sure if he was Goan. Just last week a five-volume inquiry report was released. The report blamed Canadian secret service agency and the Royal Mounted Canadian Police. The report said it was a Canadian tragedy and, hence, the PM issued an apology to the victims' families. Today he will take part in the commemoration ceremony in downtown Toronto that will include putting up a new memorial. The old one has damaged by culprints.
