Alternative Theories
Not all parties believe the blame lies primarily on Sikh extremists or that the airliner was even bombed. Alternate theories were not considered credible by the Canadian public or were discounted at trial. In 2000, the World Sikh Organization promoted a theory that "Sikhs did not bomb Air India 182", claiming it was a cargo door which blew off. By 2007, WSO had accepted it was a bombing, but blamed Indian agents aiding Sikh separatists to discredit them as terrorists. The World Sikh Organization of Canada maintained that if Parmar was killed in a staged encounter, it was to "shield the involvement of Indian agents in the Air India tragedy".
