Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, the founder of the outlawed Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), has issued a new video urging Sikhs not to fly on Air India flights after November 19, as their lives may be jeopardized.
He said that Air India would be denied permission to fly on November 19.
According to Pannun, Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport will remain closed on November 19 and its name will be altered. He emphasized that the final match of the present Cricket World Cup will take place on the same day.
Pannun, the head of the SFJ, has issued threats before. In September, he urged Hindu Canadians to leave the country in the midst of a diplomatic spat between India and Canada over the death of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
In a social media video, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun stated that pro-Khalistan Sikhs had repeatedly demonstrated allegiance to Canada. He then threatened Indo-Canadian Hindus and urged them to leave the country.
Following the dissemination of a racist speech by Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, the Lawyers of Hindu Forum Canada petitioned the Canadian Immigration Minister to bar Pannun from entering Canadian territory.
The lawyer for the Hindu Forum Canada wrote to Canada’s Minister of Immigration, Mark Miller, claiming that Pannun’s recent comments have caused pain and trauma not only among the Hindu community but also among Canadian residents in general.
Hindu Forum Canada is an Ontario-based non-profit humanitarian organization that campaigns for policies that improve the well-being of minority populations in Canada.
Khalistani secessionists organized a ‘Referendum’ earlier in September in Surrey, British Columbia. Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, the founder of the banned Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), was present at the Khalistani separatists’ meeting at the Guru Nanak Singh Gurudwara in Surrey, Vancouver.
Notably, relations between India and Canada have strained since Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused agents of the Indian government of killing Nijjar in June.
In retaliation for Canada’s action, India denied the claims as absurd and motivated and expelled a Canadian envoy. Canada has failed to present any public proof to back up its claim that Nijjar was murdered.
