Families pay tribute to Air India victims on 27th anniversary

Dozens of supporters joined families of Air India bombing victims at a memorial service in Stanley Park Saturday commemorating the 27th anniversary of the terrorist attack.
Major Sidhu and his family were there to remember his sister Sukh-winder, and her two children, 10-year-old daughter Parminder and son Kul-dip, 9, who died in the bombing.
He was too emotional to speak to reporters after he listened to speeches by politicians and friends.
B.C. NDP leader Adrian Dix was there on behalf of his wife Renee Sak-likar, whose aunt Zeb and uncle Umar Jethwa - both doctors - perished in the bombing, leaving their young son Irfan an orphan.
"He went from having two loving parents who were wonderful people who provided medical care to low-income people in India, to being an orphan," Dix said.
