AI hijacker says he wants to enter Canada Bar
Toronto: Parminder Singh Saini, a convicted terrorist who is fighting his deportation to India, has asked the Canadian law regulator to allow him practise law saying he “deserves a second chance.”
Mr. Saini, who led a group of five youths who hijacked an Air India flight from Srinagar to New Delhi on July 5, 1984 and took it to Lahore, said he regretted his past while appearing before the Law Society of Upper Canada recently.
“I had no legitimate right to do that,” said 46-year-old Saini, who earned a B.A. from York University and a law degree from the University of Windsor. But opposing his application, Law Society counsel Susan Heakes told a hearing: “Over the last 15 years, [Canadian] courts and tribunals have declared that he is a danger to the public and security in Canada and that he shouldn’t remain here.” Apart from hijacking a plane and shooting at several of his 270-plus hostages, Saini lied his way into Canada, and never gained landed-immigrant status. He faced deportation and remained a national security threat, she said. —PTI
