Khalistani separatist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun has threatened international flyers against boarding Air India flights ahead of the 40th anniversary of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. Pannun, who is the founder of Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), warned that “an attack could occur on an Air India flight” after November 19.
Pannun, who holds dual citizenship of the US and Canada, has been designated a terrorist by the Ministry of Home Affairs since July 2020 on charges of sedition and secessionism. “Do not fly Air India. …We are asking the Sikh ‘panth’ not to fly via Air India. From November 19, there will be a global blockade. Air India won’t be allowed to operate. Sikh ‘panth’, don’t travel by Air India after November 19,” the SFJ founder said.

Pannun, also accused by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in multiple cases, is known for insulting the Indian flag and has even threatened Indian diplomats on several occasions. He had issued a similar threat around the same time last year. According to sources, Pannun misuses his access in the UK and Canada for spreading anti-India propaganda.
On Friday, top intelligence sources told CNN-News18 that Pannun is running an immigration racket and, looking at his strategy, Pakistan’s spy agency ISI is also in touch with him. “Initially he kept on denying his association with them but he later came out openly in London with Pakistan high commission’s Kashmir Day event,” said a source. “His idea is to instigate the youth of Punjab born after 1984 against India and atrocities on the Sikh community.”
According to the sources, Pannun is getting funding from the ISI, some money from innocent youths, and some donations in the name of war. He has made many gurdwaras of the UK, US, and Canada breeding grounds for anti-India sentiments.
