Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, who plotted terrorist activities against India while residing in Canada and the USA, has now openly started threatening an elected Canadian MP. The terrorist Pannun is not only intimidating the Hindu Canadian MP of Indian origin but also urging him to return to India.
Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun released a video in which he instructs the Hindu MP Chandra Arya and his supporters to return to India. Chandra Arya is the Hindu Canadian MP who has been vocal against the spread of Khalistani terrorism in Canada. He has exposed Pannun's anti-India activities on various platforms, including the Canadian Parliament. Notably, Chandra Arya is a member of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party.
What did Pannun say in the video?
In the video, Pannun declared, 'There is no place in Canada for Chandra Arya and his supporters. Chandra Arya is promoting India's agenda in Canada. They should give up their Canadian citizenship and return to India. Chandra Arya and his supporters are working against the Khalistanis. The Khalistani Sikhs in Canada have already proven their loyalty to the country. We are loyal to Canada.'
What did Chandra Arya say in response to the video?
Responding to Pannun's video, Chandra Arya stated, 'Khalistanis vandalized the Hindu BAPS Swaminarayan Temple in Edmonton and spread hatred. I condemned their act. In response to my condemnation, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun of Sikhs for Justice released a video. Pannun is asking me and my Hindu-Canadian friends to return to India. But I want to tell them that Hindus have come to Canada from all parts of the world. Canada is our land. We have made significant contributions to Canada's socio-economic development. But now, this land is being polluted by Khalistani extremists.'
Pannun spews venom against India
Pannun, a Canadian and American citizen, serves as the leader of the Khalistani organization Sikhs for Justice (SFJ). Pannun, a pro-Khalistan lawyer, has been a key organizer of referendums demanding a separate Sikh state, Khalistan. These referendums have been held in countries with significant Indian diasporas, such as Canada, the UK, and Australia. A while ago, Pannun claimed, 'India wants to kill me for conducting the referendum campaign. India's approach has become a direct challenge to international terrorism and the sovereignty of the USA.'
The history of fugitive Pannun
Pannun originally hails from the village of Nath Chak in Punjab. He completed his early education in Ludhiana and later settled near Khankot, Amritsar. His father, Mahinder Singh, was a secretary of the Punjab Marketing Board. It is believed that Pannun graduated from Punjab University in the 1990s. He was politically active from his college days and eventually moved abroad. Initially, he worked as a cab driver and later took up law. In 2007, he founded SFJ and became a staunch supporter of Khalistan. Pannun's anti-India agenda receives support from Pakistan's intelligence agency, ISI.
