Khalistani Terrorist Pannun Threatens India With ‘Hamas-Like attack’

“People under illegal occupation from Punjab to Palestine will react. And violence begets violence,” Pannun said, adding that if India continues to “occupy” Punjab, there will be a “reaction” and “India and PM Modi will be responsible for it”.

In the video, Pannun claims that “the liberation of Punjab is on the cards.” Pannun further states that SFJ believes in the power of “ballot and vote,” effectively advocating for peaceful democratic processes as a means to achieve their objectives. While making a shooting gesture at the camera, Pannun says, “India, choice is yours. Ballot or bullet.”

The Ahmedabad police recently registered an FIR against Gurpatwant Singh Pannun over his threat to disrupt a World Cup match between India and Pakistan to be held at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Gujarat. The FIR was registered in Ahmedabad under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).

The action came from police after threatening pre-recorded messages were published on various social media handles and an attempt was made to spoil the atmosphere. “FIR registered against Pannu under 121(A),153(A)(B), 505  IPC, UAPA and IT Act 66 F,” ANI quoted Ajit Rajian, Cyber Crime DCP, Ahmedabad as saying.

In the clip, Pannun can be heard saying, “Pro Khalistan Sikhs from Canada are in Delhi to avenge the assassination of Shaheed Najjar.”

The SFI leader had earlier threatened Indian diplomats in Canada, particularly Sanjay Verma, India’s High Commissioner to Canada. The Khalistani terror organisation ‘recommended’ India to close its embassy in Ottawa and recall the envoy stationed there.

Earlier, on September 23, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) confiscated assets in Chandigarh and Amritsar linked to Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, in Punjab under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.

Pannun, who lives in Canada, was named as a wanted terrorist in 2020. He is facing more than 20 criminal counts in Punjab. He has threatened Prime Minister Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar on numerous occasions. He was given non-bailable arrest warrants by the Special NIA Court on February 3, 2021, and he was declared a “Proclaimed Offender” (PO) on November 29, last year.
