VANCOUVER: The Canadian Parliament has supported a non-binding call for a public inquiry into the Air India bombing case following the acquittal of the two main accused in the worst case of mass murder in the country's history. Opposition MPs in Canada's House of Commons united on Tuesday to pass the motion calling for the inquiry into the tragedy. The families of the 329 people who were killed when the Kanishka flight crashed off the coast of Ireland in 1985 had urged Canada to hold a new investigation into the disaster after the two main accused were let off due to lack of credible evidence. The 172-124 vote in Ottawa came hours after a bitter exchange in the House of Commons which included the Opposition party leader, Stephen Harper, asking whether an inquiry would have come sooner if more of the victims were white. The Prime Minister, Paul Martin, said: "Any notions of racism are odious and any accusations of such are simply not acceptable." — PTI
