Guwahati: Even as Khalistani sympathiser Amritpal Singh continues to evade the police, terrorist Gurpatwan Singh Pannun of Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) has issued a threat to Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.
“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,” Pannu warned Biswa Sarma through a threat call to journalists, India Today reported.
Pannun, a lawyer who founded US-based secessionist group SJF that backs the secession of Punjab from India as Khalistan, further urged Biswa Sarma not to ‘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,” Pannun added.
The Central government banned SFJ for anti-India activities under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) in July 2019 and, a year later, declared Pannun as an ‘individual terrorist’.
