Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, leader of the separatist group Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), has once again issued a serious threat targeting Air India on social media platforms. Pannun cautioned passengers to avoid flying with the airline between November 1 and 19, citing the 40th anniversary of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, which he refers to as the “Sikh genocide.” This latest threat has raised concerns over the safety of travellers and added to the security challenges faced by Indian aviation authorities.
The founder of Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), who holds dual citizenship in Canada and the US, had issued a similar threat around the same time last year.
Pannun, also accused by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in multiple cases, is known for insulting the Indian flag and has even threatened Indian diplomats on several occasions. He had issued a similar threat around the same time last year. According to sources, Pannun misuses his access in the UK and Canada for spreading anti-India propaganda.
In November 2023, Pannun released a video claiming that Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport would be renamed and would remain closed on November 19, warning people against flying on Air India that day. The National Investigation Agency charged him with criminal conspiracy, promoting enmity between different groups on the grounds of religion, and various offences under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).
