Last month, Pannun issued a warning to India with a Hamas-like attack if “India is going to keep occupying Punjab, there will be a reaction.” In the video released last month, he said “(PM) Modi learned from the Palestine-Israel conflict. People under occupation from Punjab to Palestine will react and violence begets violence. If India is going to keep occupying Punjab, there will be a reaction In September, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) confiscated the properties owned by Pannun in Chandigarh and Amritsar under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. The probe agency has confiscated 46 kanals of agricultural land belonging to Pannu in the village in relation to a terror case registered in 2020. Who is Gurpatwant Singh Pannun? Gurpatwant Singh Pannun is one of the founders of the separatist group SFJ and has been running a campaign against India as well as motivating Sikh youngsters in his home state Punjab to join militancy. Also, Pannun has been actively lobbying for a separate state for Sikhs, which they call Khalistan, in the US, Canada and the UK. India’s Home Ministry had, in July 2020, designated Pannun a terrorist and two months later, the government ordered the attachment of his properties under Section 51A of the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. He has been a leading organiser of the so-called Khalistan Referendum, inviting Sikhs worldwide to vote on whether Punjab should become an independent nation based on religion. He also worked closely with Canada-based Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, whose murder has been at the centre of the diplomatic standoff between New Delhi and Ottawa.
