The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has registered another case against Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannu, who lives in the US. It is alleged that Pannu had announced a reward for those who stopped Prime Minister Narendra Modi from hoisting the tricolor on the Red Fort on Independence Day this year and tried to spread dissatisfaction against India in the Sikh community.
According to NIA’s FIR, Pannu is the general counsel of the banned organization ‘Sikhs for Justice’ (SFJ). At an event organized at the Lahore Press Club in Pakistan on August 10, Pannu issued a video message saying that the Sikh soldiers who will stop the Prime Minister from hoisting the tricolor at the Red Fort will be given a reward of Rs 11 crore. Meanwhile, he also released a new map of Khalistan, in which Punjab, Delhi, Himachal Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh were shown.
Pannu and SFJ started organization against India
The FIR also mentions that Pannu and SFJ announced to create an organization called ‘Shaheed Jatha’ to intensify activities against India. The agency says that it has video proof and strong information in this regard.
The NIA has registered this FIR under the illegal activities (prevention) Act (UAPA) and other sections of Indian law. In this, along with Gurpatwant Singh Pannu, some unknown people have also been accused. This step was taken following the instructions of the Ministry of Home Affairs.
What did the Ministry of Home Affairs say?
The Ministry of Home Affairs said that Pannu challenged India’s sovereignty and propagated Khalistan and tried to deny India’s authority over Punjab. The investigation of this case has been handed over to the NIA so that all aspects of this conspiracy related to national and international level can be detected.
