Don’t travel by Air India on Nov 19 or…: Khalistani terrorist in threat video
NEW DELHI, NOV 5: A new video of Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun has surfaced in which he is seen issuing a threat to people planning to travel via Air India on November 19, saying that their “lives would be in danger”.
“We are asking the Sikh people not to fly via Air India on November 19. There will be a global blockade. On November 19, don’t travel by Air India or your life will be in danger,” Pannun said in the video that surfaced on social media.
Pannun further claimed that Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport would remain shut on November 19 and that its name would be changed.
The Khalistani terrorist highlighted that this was the same day on which the final match of the ongoing cricket World Cup would take place.
On October 10, Pannun, who is the chief of the banned US-based Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) outfit, had threatened Prime Minister Narendra Modi to learn from the Israel-Palestine war lest a similar “reaction” unravels in India.
“People under illegal occupation from Punjab to Palestine will react. And violence begets violence,” he had said in a previous video message.
Amritsar-born Pannun has been on the National Investigation Agency’s (NIA) scanner since 2019 when the probe agency filed its first case against him. He has been accused of playing a primary role in advocating and commissioning terror acts and activities, and spreading fear and terror in Punjab and other parts of India via his threats and intimidation strategies.
Non-bailable warrants of arrest were issued against Pannun by a special NIA court on February 3, 2021, and he was declared a “Proclaimed Offender” (PO) on November 29 last year.
