The Assam police have issued an alert to central agencies and increased protection for Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma following the distribution of an audio tape to journalists in which a pro-Khalistan organization is heard uttering threats against him.
The DGP Assam police took to Twitter to inform. Mr. GP Singh tweeted, “Reference audio clip threatening Hon CM Assam by a person called Gurpatwant Singh Pannu, a designated individual terrorist under Indian law and heading an unlawful association called Sikh for Justice –
1. A case under appropriate sections of IPC and UAP Act has been registered at STF Police Station of Assam.
2. The security component of Hon CM has been adequately sensitised to the emerging threat.
3. In view of global events, the threat is being taken very seriously by Assam Police.
4. The central agencies have been kept in the loop on the issue”.
Terrorist Gurpatwan Singh Pannu of Sikh for Justice (SFJ) has threatened Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma while the search for Khalistani separatist Amritpal Singh goes on.
In the threat call, Pannu said, “Pro-Khalistan supporters imprisoned in Assam have been tortured. Listen very carefully, CM Sarma, the fight is between Pro-Khalistan Sikhs and the Indian regime”.
He further said, “Sarma, do not fall prey to this violence”.
“We are seeking the liberation of Punjab from Indian occupation through a peaceful democratic process of Khalistan referendum. If your government is torturing and harassing the six (Amritpal aides lodged in the Dibrugarh Central Jail), you will be held accountable”, the SJF General Counsel added.
The Central Reserve Police Forces presently provide Z+ security to the Assam Chief Minister.
