'Go To India': Pro-Khalistan Outfit SFJ's Gurpatwant Singh Pannun Threatens Hindus To Leave Canada

2023-09-21

[OneIndia] A Sikh separatist group banned in India has threatened Hindus living in Canada, urging them to leave the country and accusing them of supporting India and promoting violence.

The threats were made by Gurpatwant Pannun,

...more fully Gurpatwant Singh Pannu. He’s apparently based in New York City nowadays, convenient when he wants to nip off to meetings with Sikh communities around the world...

the legal counsel for Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) and a designated terrorist in India, in a viral video. In the video, Pannun was heard saying,''Indo-Hindu leave Canada; go to India. You not only support India but you are also supporting the suppression of speech and expression of pro-Khalistan Sikhs", Hindustan Times reported.

The video emerged shortly after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

...hereditary prime minister of the Great White North...
suggested a "potential link" between Indian government agents and the killing of Khalistani leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in June, leading to diplomatic tensions between the two countries. However,
some people cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go...
India dismissed the Canadian government's accusations as 'absurd' and later asked a Canadian diplomat to exit the country within the next five days.

Pannun's threat has raised concerns among Hindu Canadians, who say it is a manifestation of "full-scale Hinduphobia." There have been incidents of temple desecration and anti-India propaganda by vandals associated with the Khalistan referendum in Canada.

Some commentators have questioned the lack of action in response to Pannun's threat, drawing attention to the disparity in reactions when compared to threats from white supremacists.

SFJ has claimed to feel "emboldened" by the Trudeau government's recent actions, further escalating tensions.

In an opinion piece, Andrew Coyne emphasized the need to maintain peace in Canada following Nijjar's killing, cautioning against the potential for ethnic and sectarian violence.

Responding to the threat video, Hindu Canadian minister Anita Anand appealed for calm. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the minister wrote, "South Asians and families who come from India, regardless of religion, will share the sentiment that it was difficult to hear the Prime Minister's statement yesterday. This is a time to let the legal process continue as it must. Let us all remain calm, unified, and empathetic."
