Khalistan, Urdustan: New intel reveals terrorist Pannun’s plan to divide India
NEW DELHI,SEPT 25 : A new intelligence report has shed light on the agenda of Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun. The report mentions Pannun’s agenda of “disintegrating India along religious lines”.
Security agencies have recently compiled a new dossier outlining Pannun’s activities and his alleged plans to divide the country into multiple segments based on religion.
As per the dossier accessed by India Today, as many as 16 cases have been registered against Pannun across various states in India, underscoring the gravity of his anti-national activities. These cases span locations including Delhi, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, and Uttarakhand.
The intelligence report paints a chilling picture of Pannu’s aspirations. It alleges that he aims to fragment India into multiple countries along religious lines. One of his proposed entities is a Muslim state, which he envisions as the “Democratic Republic of Urdustan”.
Additionally, Pannun is actively working to radicalise the people of Kashmir, with the ultimate goal of separating the region from India. Pannun once even threatened to hoist the Khalistani flag at the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) airport in Delhi.
WHO IS GURPATWANT SINGH PANNUN?
Gurpatwant Singh Pannun was born in Amritsar and graduated in Law from Panjab University. His family had migrated from Pakistan to Amritsar’s Khankot Village during partition in 1947. His father, Mahender Singh (now expired), worked at a company in Punjab. Pannun has one brother, Magwant Singh, who resides abroad.
Pannun is currently an attorney at law in the US. He is linked to ‘Sikhs for Justice’ (SFJ), a US-based secessionist group that supports the division of Punjab from India as Khalistan. He is the face of SFJ and its legal adviser.
Gurpatwant Singh Pannun was declared a terrorist for having links with Sikh for Justice by the home ministry under the Unlawful Activities Act.
PANNUN’S CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES
Often, Pannun has offered substantial financial incentives to those who support his agenda. He pledged to give $2.5 million to anyone who would hoist a Khalistani flag at Delhi’s India Gate.
He had also promised to give $1 million to any policeman for stopping the Indian Prime Minister from hoisting the Tricolour at the Red Fort on India’s Independence Day in 2021.
Pannun has been accused of playing a major role in promoting and commissioning terror acts and activities, and spreading fear and terror in Punjab and elsewhere in the country through his threats and intimidation tactics.
Non-bailable warrants of arrest were issued against Pannu by the Special NIA Court on February 3, 2021 and he was declared a “Proclaimed Offender” (PO) on November 29 last year.
