New Delhi: A video of Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun has surfaced in which he has issued a threat to those who are planning to travel by Air India on November 19.
“We are asking the Sikh people not to fly via Air India on November 19. There will be a global blockade. On November 19, don’t travel by Air India or your life will be in danger,” Pannun can be heard saying in the video which has gone viral on social media.
Pannun claimed that the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport in Delhi will remain shut on November 19 and that its name will be changed after Beant Singh and Satwant Singh, former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s bodyguards who assassinated her on October 31, 1984.
The Khalistani terrorist pointed out November 19 is the day when the final of the ‘World terror Cup’ is scheduled, referring to the ongoing ICC ODI World Cup.

A lawyer, Gurpatwant is the founder of Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), a banned US-based group that supports secession of Punjab from India as Khalistan.
Last month, Pannun had threatened Prime Minister Narendra Modi to learn from the Israel-Hamas war so that a similar ‘reaction’ doesn’t hit India.
“People under illegal occupation from Punjab to Palestine will react. And violence begets violence,” Pannun said in a previous video message.
The Amritsar-born Pannun, who has been on National Investigation Agency’s (NIA) scanner since 2019, was declared a ‘Proclaimed Offender’ on November 29, 2022.
A special NIA court issued non-bailable arrest warrants against him on February 3, 2021.
He has been on the run ever since.
