New Delhi: Canada’s federal police are investigating a warning in videos featuring Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, the general counsel for the Khalistani outfit, Sikhs for Justice circulating online not to fly Air India starting November 19, the transportation minister said Thursday. “We take every threat seriously, especially when it concerns airlines,” Transportation Minister Pablo Rodriguez told reporters in Ottawa. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police, he added, “is doing an investigation,” AFP reported.
He warns Sikhs in the video: “Don’t fly Air India after November 19, your lives may be in danger.”
He told Canadian media this was not a threat, but rather a call to boycott Indian businesses.
