New Delhi, Jan 16, 2024: Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) leader and Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun on Tuesday allegedly threatened to kill Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and DGP Gaurav Yadav. Pannun asked gangsters to come together for attacking Mann on Republic Day — January 26.
Strict actions against gangsters in Punjab is said to be the reason behind the death threat. Earlier, the Punjab Police adopted a zero tolerance policy against gangsters.
This comes a week after Pannun threatened the Indian government on the consecration ceremony of Ayodhya Ram Temple on January 22. He even urged the Muslim community to oppose the ceremony, which, according to his claims, is built on Babri Masjid.
Intelligence sources told News18 that Pannun has called Prime Minister Narendra Modi a “global enemy of Muslims”. He claimed that the temple is built on the bodies of thousands of Muslims, who were forced into conversion.
“The January 22 consecration ceremony at the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya is the most unholy, ungodly, unrighteous ceremony,” he supposedly said. “January 22 is Modi’s Operation Bluestar against Muslims”.
Indian intelligence sources suggested that Pannun is seeking mileage out of the current situation as his attempt to start a referendum for a separate Khalistan has failed, and he is in “panic mode”.
On January 1, Pannun had made provocative calls for India’s “economic destruction” by targeting the Bombay Stock Exchange from March 12, 2024, the 31st anniversary of the Mumbai serial blasts in which the BSE building was one of the targets.
Pannun, declared a ‘terrorist’ by India, called for dumping Indian stock and purchasing American stock before March 12. He also identified banks and corporates that trade internationally among the targets.
Further earlier, Pannun had also made a threat against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, instigating Muslims to stop the PM’s Ayodhya roadshow on December 30, offering a reward of $100,000 for it.
