Families angry at lack of action

RELATIVES of some of the 329 people killed in the Air India bombing have criticised the Canadian Prime Minister for failing to launch a public inquiry.

Families reacted angrily yesterday after Paul Martin said no decision would be made on an inquiry until he has received a report in the autumn from his special adviser, Bob Rae.

Padmini Turlapati, a paediatrician from Toronto, who lost her two sons in the disaster, said relatives were suffering endless frustration and agony and described the whole procedure as a “convoluted soap opera”.
