Digital Desk: Amidst escalating tensions between India and Canada following the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, the leader of the banned Khalistani outfit Sikhs For Justice (SFJ), has issued alarming threats to Canadian Hindus, urging them to leave Canada. Pannu alleges that Canadian Hindus have taken a "jingoistic approach" by aligning with India's interests.
In a video message titled "Leave Canada, Indo-Hindus, Go India," Pannu said, "Indo-Canadian Hindus, you have renounced your allegiance to Canada and the Canadian constitution. Your destination is India. Leave Canada, go to India."
Pannun claims that Canadian Hindus, in response to the Canadian government's pause on a trade agreement with India, are actively working against Canada's national interests and are siding with India. He also accuses them of supporting the alleged suppression of pro-Khalistan voices in India and celebrating the assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
Pannun went on to laud pro-Khalistan Sikhs in Canada, asserting that they have consistently been loyal to Canada and have upheld the country's laws and constitution.
Furthermore, Pannun announced an upcoming "referendum," not related to Khalistan, but to determine whether Indian High Commissioner Sanjay Kumar Verma is responsible for Nijjar's assassination. He has called for this "Kill India Referendum" to take place in Vancouver on October 29, encouraging Canadian Sikhs to participate.
This latest threat from Pannun adds to the concerning pattern of Khalistani terrorists in Canada targeting Indian diplomats and endangering Indian diplomatic missions. The Indian government has raised this issue with the Canadian government on multiple occasions.
Gurpatwant Singh Pannun himself is a wanted Khalistani terrorist, sought by the Indian government under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).
Hardeep Singh Nijjar, the head of Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara Sahib in Canada and a wanted Khalistani terrorist in India, was fatally shot in Surrey on June 18 of this year by unidentified assailants. He had been on India's wanted list and hailed from the village of Bhar Singhpura in Jalandhar.
The controversy surrounding Nijjar's murder recently intensified when Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, on September 18, accused India of orchestrating the Khalistani terrorist's killing on Canadian soil. However, Trudeau's claims lacked concrete evidence, leading to India's rejection of the allegations. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs swiftly denounced any suggestion of India's involvement in Nijjar's assassination as "absurd and motivated."
Gurpatwant Singh Pannun has a history of issuing threats against India and the Modi government over its actions against Khalistani elements. On September 12, he released a video in which he called on India to close down the Indian High Commission in Ottawa and threatened to target Indian diplomat Sanjay Kumar Verma.
As tensions persist between India and Canada in the aftermath of Hardeep Singh Nijjar's killing, the international community will be closely monitoring the situation, hoping for a peaceful resolution to the disputes and a halt to the threats and violence associated with Khalistani extremism.
