Diaspora Urgency: Calls for No-Fly List Inclusion Amid Khalistani Threats

An international panel urges action against Khalistani threats, seeking Pannun and SFJ's inclusion on no-fly lists. Pannun's recent Air India threat raised concerns, prompting investigations and diplomatic engagement between India, Canada, and global security agencies.

An international diaspora assembly is advocating for the inclusion of Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun and his banned organization, Sikhs For Justice (SFJ), on no-fly lists. Pannun's recent video threat targeting Air India flights on November 19 has sparked concern among security agencies. This prompted discussions between Indian, Canadian, and global security authorities.

During a panel discussion on "Indians in Canada under Threat of Terror and Hate Crimes," hosted by the Foundation for India and Indian Diaspora Studies (FIIDS), concerns were raised about Pannun's threats and SFJ's activities.

FIIDS officials urged governments to take decisive actions against the Khalistani group and highlighted Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's stance on the issue, suggesting it exacerbated anti-Indian and anti-Hindu sentiments in Canada. The panel emphasized that SFJ's narrative does not represent Sikhs in its entirety, advocating for unity among Hindu and Sikh communities. Moreover, the assembly accused former Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau and subsequent governments of fostering an environment supportive of Khalistani extremists.

Following Pannun's threats, Canadian Transport Minister Pablo Rodriguez assured rigorous investigation and enhanced security measures for Air India flights. India's High Commissioner to Ottawa, Sanjay Kumar Verma, stressed the gravity of Pannun's statement and called for legal action by Canada.

The Indian Ministry of External Affairs condemned the threats and engaged with foreign governments regarding radical elements inciting violence against Indian leaders and diplomats. This development surfaces amid strained India-Canada relations after the killing of a Khalistani terrorist in British Columbia and previous threats by Pannun against the cricket World Cup, resulting in an FIR registered by Ahmedabad police.
