Indian Govt Declares 9 Individuals As Designated Terrorists Under UAPA Act

New Delhi: The Indian government on Wednesday declared nine individuals as designated terrorists under the provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA Act) 1967 (amended in 2019) and included their names in the Fourth Schedule of the above Act.

All these individuals were involved in various acts of terrorism from across the border as well as from foreign soil, a Home Ministry statement said. They have been relentless in their nefarious efforts to destabilize the country, by trying to revive militancy in Punjab through anti-national activities and also through their support to and involvement in the Khalistan Movement.

The Union government had amended the UAPA Act, 1967, in August last year to include the provision of designating an individual as a ‘terrorist’. Previously, only organizations could be designated as ‘terrorist organizations’.

Following are details of the nine persons declared as terrorists:

1. Wadhawa Singh Babbar – Pakistan-based chief of terrorist organization, ‘Babbar Khalsa International’

2. Lakhbir Singh – Pakistan-based chief of terrorist organization, ‘International Sikh Youth Federation’

3. Ranjeet Singh – Pakistan-based chief of terrorist organization, ‘Khalistan Zindabad Force

4. Paramjit Singh – Pakistan-based chief of terrorist organization, ‘Khalistan Commando Force’

5. Bhupinder Singh Bhinda – Germany-based key member of terrorist organization, ‘Khalistan Zindabad Force’

6. Gurmeet Singh Bagga – Germany-based key member of terrorist organisation, ‘Khalistan Zindabad Force’

7. Gurpatwant Singh Pannun – USA-based key member of Unlawful Association, ‘Sikh for Justice’

8. Hardeep Singh Nijjar – Canada-based chief of ‘Khalistan Tiger Force’

9. Paramjit Singh – UK-based chief of terrorist organization, ‘Babbar Khalsa International’
