Khalistan Terrorist Gurpatwant Pannun Issues 'Don't Fly Air India' Threat Amid Trudeau's 'Free Speech' Defence

Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun on Monday released a video on social media platform warning people not to board Air India flights from November 1 to 19. Pannun, in the video, asserted that an attack could take place on an Air India flight during the mentioned dates, which also coincide with the '40th anniversary of the Sikh genocide'. Pannun had issued a similar hoax threat last year.Earlier, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) had filed a case under sections of UAPA. In November 2023, NIA had filed a case against 'listed terrorist' Pannun after a video threat to passengers flying via Air India.Both Sikh For Justice and Pannun have been booked by NIA under various sections of IPC and UA(P)A for attempts to target and disrupt the 'transportation sector in India.'The National Investigation Agency (NIA) had registered a case against ‘listed individual terrorist’ Gurpatwant Singh Pannun over his latest viral video threatening the passengers flying and Air India Airlines with a global blockade and closure of the operations of the airline from 19th November 2023The NIA had booked Pannun under sections 120B, 153A & 506 of the IPC and sections 10, 13, 16, 17, 18, 18B & 20 of Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967."Pannun, the self-proclaimed General Counsel’ of the outlawed ‘unlawful Association’, Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), is in the eye of the storm yet again following the release and circulation of video messages on various social media platforms urging the Sikhs not to fly on Air India planes on and after 19th November claiming threat to their lives if they flew on Air India. Pannun also threatened that Air India would not be allowed to operate in the world. Pannun’s assertions and threats have triggered a high alert as well as investigations by security forces in Canada, India and certain other countries where Air India flies," NIA had then said in a statement last year.Pannun's latest threat comes at the time when several Indian airlines have received multiple bomb threats calls, however, all of these turned out to be hoaxes. The development comes during a tense diplomatic standoff between India and Canada following allegations by Canada that India has targeted Khalistani elements within its borders, including the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

'Khalistani Extremists Deep Assets Of Canadian Intelligence': Outgoing Indian Envoy's Big Charge Against Trudeau GovernmentRecalled Indian High Commissioner to Canada, Sanjay Verma, has accused Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of destroying the ties between the two countries, asserting that he had nothing to do with the killing of a Khalistani separatist and that the charges against him are "politically motivated". Verma accused the Canadian government of "encouraging" Khalistani extremists alleging that they work for Canada's intelligence agencies.He alleged, "Khalistani extremists are being encouraged all the time. This is my allegation, I also know that some of these Khalistani extremists and terrorists are deep assets of Canada Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), again I'm not giving any evidence." These are the first comments made by Verma after he was named as "person of interest" in the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar.Following Canada's allegations, India expelled six Canadian diplomats and announced that it was withdrawing its High Commissioner in Canada Sanjay Kumar Verma. New Delhi had dismissed Ottawa's allegations linking the envoy to the probe into the killing of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.The recalled envoy said that Trudeau's allegations over Nijjar's killing were based on intelligence inputs rather than concrete evidence. "The problem is that when he accused, he himself admitted there was no hard evidence. There was intelligence. On the basis of intelligence, if you want to destroy a relationship, be my guest. And that's what he (Trudeau) did," Verma said in an interview with Canada's private broadcaster CTV News aired on Sunday. 'No Proof': Admits TrudeauNijjar, who was declared a terrorist by India, was shot dead outside a gurdwara in Surrey, British Columbia, on June 18 last year. The relations between the two countries came under severe strain following Trudeau's allegations in September last year of a "potential" involvement of Indian agents in Nijjar's killing.New Delhi rejected Trudeau's charges as "absurd".Testifying before the public inquiry into foreign interference in federal electoral processes and democratic institutions last week, Trudeau admitted that he had only intelligence and no "hard evidentiary proof" when he alleged the involvement of Indian government agents in the killing of Nijjar.
