[GEO.TV] The US authorities thwarted an Indian conspiracy to assassinate the pro-Khalistan leader of Sikhs For Justice (SFJ) Gurpatwant Singh Pannun | ...also in our archives as Gurpatwant Pannun. He’s apparently based in New York City nowadays, convenient when he wants to nip off to meetings with Sikh communities around the world... |
In a shocking story, the FT has revealed that the target of the Indian plot was Gurpatwant, an American and Canadian citizen who is general counsel for Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), a US-based group that is part of a movement pushing for an independent Sikh state called “Khalistan”.
| Khalistan is the romantic idea that somehow the Sikhs will create a homeland in the Indian Punjab through anti-Indian terror and lawfare, funded by the Sikh diaspora and trained and guided as a project of Pakistan’s ISI as yet another arrow in their quiver aimed at India’s heart. No doubt that’s why it never seems to have occurred to them the Pakistan’s Punjab is the other half of their native homeland. |
The US sources didn’t tell the FT whether the protest to New Delhi led the plotters to abandon their plan, or whether the FBI intervened and foiled a scheme already in motion.
The US informed some allies about the plot following the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Canadian Sikh separatist killed in Vancouver in June.
In September, Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said there were “credible allegations” linking New Delhi to Nijjar’s fatal shooting.
The FT reported that one person familiar with the situation said the US protest was issued after Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a high-profile state visit to Washington in June.
The FT revealed that apart from the diplomatic warning, US federal prosecutors have filed a sealed indictment against at least one alleged perpetrator of the plot in a New York district court, according to people familiar with the case.
