The US based designated terrorist and leader of Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) Gurpatwant Singh Pannun again has been booker by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) his latest viral video

In the viral video the Khalistani leader is

threatening the passengers flying Air India and the airline with closure of operations, people familiar with the development, as reported HindustanTimes.

Pannun, under the scanner of NIA since 2019 and a designated terrorist under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), runs a Khalistani propaganda from foreign soil and Indian agencies have been making efforts to get him extradited here.

The anti-terror probe agency, in its latest case against him, has filed a suo motu case against Pannun under various sections of Indian Penal Code (IPC) and UAPA as he released video messages on social media platforms on November 4 asking 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. His 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 said in a statement.

“In his video messages, released on 4th November, Pannun had urged Sikhs to stop flying on Air India planes on and after the said date, citing potential threat to their lives. He also issued a warning to the government of India that the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) would remain closed on the November 19,” NIA said.

Asserting that these threats are part of his concerted plan to promote terror acts in India to revive terrorism in India, NIA said Pannun “has been creating a false narrative around the issues prevailing in the state of Punjab, especially with regard to Sikh religion, by promoting enmity between the Sikhs in the country and other communities”.
