The case filed against Sikh separatist leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannun by the National Investigative Agency (NIA) adds another thread to the ongoing saga of regional tensions.
The National Investigation Agency has filed a case against Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, the founder of pro-Khalistan group Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), over charges of attempt to disrupt the transportation sector in India, a statement said on Monday.
SFJ was banned by the Indian government in July 2019 under the UA(P) Act for their involvement in promoting secession as well as violent militancy in Punjab as well as Sikh Referendum 2020.
The Punjab CM said there was zero local support to the rally and the only support they got was from fringe elements of different countries
Vijay Mehta, Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) convenor for UK and Europe, said that the pro-India rally was organised by the London unit of his party.
The SFJ proposes to hold a gathering on 'Punjab Independence Referendum 2020 for Sikhs’ right to self-determination'
