Khalistani Terrorist “wants to create many countries by dividing India”: Sources

New Delhi: Amid India’s relationship with Canada worsening day by day, Khalistani terrorists want to divide India and create many countries. Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun – whose properties in Chandigarh and Amritsar were seized last week – “wants to create many countries (by) dividing India”, sources reported by NDTV Monday.

According to the National Investigation Agency(NIA) dossier on Pannun, the head of the banned separatist group Sikhs for Justice “has challenged the unity and integrity of India by audio messages” and “wants to create a separate country for people of Kashmir… and create a Muslim country”.

Pannun has been wanted by the NIA since 2019 for playing a major role in promoting and commissioning terrorist acts to spread fear across Punjab and the country. Investigations have also revealed the Pannun-led Sikhs For Justice “misuses cyberspace to radicalise gullible youth… instigates them to undertake terrorist activities and fight for an independent state of Khalistan”.

Who Is Gurpatwant Singh Pannun?

Pannun – also the primary accused over the appearance of ‘Khalistan’ banners and graffiti on the walls of the Himachal Pradesh Assembly last year – came to Amritsar in 1947, during the partition.

His family is understood to be from a village called Khankot in Pakistan. Gurpatwant Pannun’s parents are dead and his brother, Magwant Singh, lives abroad. He has a degree in law from Punjab University.

The dossier on Pannun also says he “wants to seduce the Muslims (and) create a Muslim country that he wants to name as ‘Democratic Republic of Urdustan’, and that he is radicalising people in Jammu and Kashmir to enable the latter’s separation from the Indian Union.
