Indian police kill three Sikh separatist militants

Indian police said on Monday they had killed three Sikh militants fighting for a separate homeland known as “Khalistan,” the struggle for which sparked deadly violence in the 1980s and 1990s.

The campaign for Khalistan was at the heart of a diplomatic firestorm last year after Indian intelligence operatives were linked to the killing of a vocal Sikh leader in Canada and an attempted assassination in the United States — claims New Delhi rejected.

In the latest incident, the Khalistani rebels were killed after a gunbattle in Pilibhit district in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh.

The men were wanted for their alleged involvement in a grenade attack on a police outpost in Punjab state this month.

Pilibhit police superintendent Avinash Pandey said officers had surrounded the men after a tip-off, with the suspects launching “heavy fire.”

“In the retaliatory action, all three were critically injured and later died in hospital,” he said.

Police recovered two assault rifles, two pistols and a large cache of ammunition.

The three men belonged to Khalistan Zindabad Force, a militant group, Punjab police chief Gaurav Yadav said in a statement.

The Khalistan campaign dates back to India’s 1947 independence and has been blamed for the assassination of a prime minister and the bombing of a passenger jet.

It has been a bitter issue between India and several Western nations with large Sikh populations.

New Delhi demands stricter action against the Khalistan movement, which is banned in India, with key leaders accused of “terrorism.”

This is why all of them ran off to Canada. They will be weeded out if they set foot in India.

Panel advises action against 'individual' months after Pannun murder plot charge​

A high-powered enquiry committee set up by the Indian government to investigate information provided by the United States has recommended legal action against an individual, the Ministry of Home Affairs said on Wednesday. The ministry said that the committee had been set up in November 2023 following information provided by the US regarding some organised criminal groups, terrorist organisations, drug peddlers, etc.

The ministry did not identify the nature or the details of the information provided by the US. However, the timeline mentioned in its statement suggests that it is to do with an alleged plot to assassinate Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun on American soil.

In November 2023, the US Department of Justice said it had unearthed a plot to assassinate Pannun that was allegedly orchestrated by a person in the employment of the Indian government. In later revelations, the person in question was identified as an agent of Indias external spy agency R&AW who allegedly attempted to hire a contract killer to murder Pannun.

In response to the US allegations, India said it had set up a high-powered enquiry committee to investigate the issue.

"The enquiry committee conducted investigations, and also pursued leads provided by the US side. It received full cooperation from US authorities and the two sides also exchanged visits. The committee further examined a number of officials from different agencies and also scrutinised relevant documents in this connection," the Home Ministry said in a statement.

Recommending "expeditious" legal action into the matter, the committee also pointed out that there should be functional improvement in the system.

Panel advises action against 'individual' months after Pannun murder plot charge

The government's enquiry panel recommended action against an "individual" with criminal links, without directly referring to the alleged failed assassination plot of Khalistani terrorist Pannun.

Anti-India Propaganda, Threats To Dignitaries' Children Studying Abroad: Govt Exposes Pannun's SFJ

From preparing a list of children of police officers and politicians studying in foreign countries to take revenge, to sending a pre-recorded message to Defence Minister Rajnath Singh’s residence, the Khalistani organisation Sikh For Justice (SFJ) is facing a total of 104 cases – 96 filed by States/UTs police and eight by the National Investigation Agency (NIA).

The Government of India has revealed shocking details about the unlawful activities of the SFJ. A The Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Tribunal has upheld the ban on the SFJ imposed by the Government of India.

The Centre has stated that the Khalistani organisation, led by Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, is spreading anti-India propaganda by organising protests and pro-Khalistan rallies against Indian dignitaries. The SFJ has also filed court cases against Indian dignitaries in Europe, Canada, the USA, and other countries.

“Pannun is reported to have raised substantial funds for the commission of terrorist acts and the assassination of important leaders, public figures, and government officials to intimidate the government and the Indian public at large. He intends to use these funds for terrorist activities with the ultimate objective of creating Khalistan," the order stated.

“The SFJ has also claimed to have prepared a list of children of police officers and politicians studying in foreign countries to take revenge if its activists are tortured," the government informed the tribunal.

A United States district court has already issued summonses to the Indian government, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, and former R&AW chief Samant Goel while hearing a civil case filed by Pannun.

In July last year, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) extended the ban on SFJ, which was upheld by the Tribunal led by Justice Anoop Kumar Mendiratta.

“The unlawful and disruptive activities on record threaten the peace, unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of India. The association supports violent extremism in Punjab, and there can be no space for an organisation that openly advocates secessionism and undermines India’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. There is a strong foundation for declaring SFJ an ‘unlawful association’ under sub-section (1) of Section 3 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UA(P)A)," Justice Mendiratta stated in his order.

“Pannun had instigated protesting Indian farmers to arm themselves and fight against Indian forces, stating that weapons would reach them from across the border. SFJ has also claimed to have prepared a list of children of police officers and politicians studying abroad to take revenge if its activists are tortured," the order added.

104 Cases Against SFJ

There are 104 cases against SFJ – 96 registered by State/UT police and eight by the NIA. Among these, 55 cases have been registered by the Punjab Police, 13 cases each by the Haryana Police and Delhi Police, six cases by the Himachal Pradesh Police, three cases by the Assam Police, two cases by the Gujarat Police, one case each by the Jharkhand, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, and Chandigarh Police.

A Voice Message For the Defence Minister

According to the order, on 22 July last year, a pre-recorded voice message was received at the landline of Defence Minister Rajnath Singh’s residence. The government stated that the message was sent by Pannun to warn Members of Parliament.

The call originated from an international number, and efforts are underway to identify the user with assistance from Interpol, the Ministry of Home Affairs stated.

Threats to Political Leaders, Judiciary, and Diplomats

Defending the ban, the government stated that the SFJ has repeatedly threatened India’s political leaders, government officials (including police officers), diplomats, judiciary members, and even their families and relatives abroad.

“SFJ organises ‘justice rallies,’ ‘genocide conferences,’ ‘seminars,’ ‘fundraising rallies,’ ‘freedom rallies,’ protests, and files baseless court cases against visiting Indian dignitaries in Europe, Canada, and the USA to defame them and incite anti-India sentiments among the Sikh diaspora," the government’s notification based on the judgment stated.

“SFJ has also incited disruptions of major events such as the Cricket World Cup. Many known terrorists support SFJ and use the Referendum platform to radicalise, recruit, and initiate Sikh youth into terrorist activities. Holding the Indian Government responsible for the recent deaths or killings of foreign-based SFJ activists or sympathisers, SFJ has threatened to avenge them," the notification added.

A Canadian commission report finds no link between India and the murder of Khalistani separatist, Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
Trudeau was lying all along then. And some of our friends here were even singing praises of him.

And I've deliberately chosen a non-Indian, neutral source.

Canada Report Challenges Claims Of Indian Role In Nijjar Killing​

Official findings contradict Trudeau's allegations, raising questions about diplomatic relations and accountability.​

Following months of diplomatic tension and controversy, a Canadian commission report has concluded there is "no definitive link" between India and the murder of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Released on January 30, 2025, by the Public Inquiry Into Foreign Interference, this finding heavily contradicts allegations made by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who claimed to have credible evidence of Indian involvement during his explosive accusations back in September 2023.

Nijjar was assassinated on June 18, 2023, outside a Sikh temple in Surrey, British Columbia. Trudeau's assertions triggered significant political fallout, including the mutual expulsion of diplomats and criticisms from India, which labelled Trudeau's claims as "absurd." The commission's 123-page report aimed to investigate foreign interference and its potential impact on Canadian electoral processes.

Commissioner Marie-Josée Hogue stated, "No definitive link to foreign state could be proven," emphasizing the lack of evidence to support Trudeau's claims. Although the report acknowledged the possibility of disinformation campaigns emanated from India as retaliation against the Prime Minister's statement, it reiterated the absence of concrete proof establishing foreign involvement. "This may have been the case with a disinformation campaign... though again no definitive link to a foreign state could be proven," Hogue noted.

The inquiry also examined the events surrounding the expulsion of six Indian diplomats from Canada accused of targeting Canadian citizens linked to the Indian government. Following the expulsion, India reacted by expelling six Canadian diplomats and recalling its high commissioner, exacerbated diplomatic relations between the two nations.

India’s Ministry of External Affairs stressed the absurdity of the commission's insinuations, claiming, "It is Canada which has been consistently interfering..." This assertion reflects India's long-standing allegation against the Trudeau administration of tolerantly allowing anti-India sentiments to flourish among pro-Khalistani elements within Canada.

The report reflects the challenges facing Canada, as Trudeau's credibility has taken a significant hit following these revelations, raising questions about the political motives behind his earlier claims.

Since the onset of these tensions, the Khalistani movement, which aims for a separate Sikh state within India, has gained traction among certain sections of the Sikh diaspora, particularly within Canada. While India categorically rejects the Khalistani narrative, Trudeau’s accusations have drawn scrutiny over his government's handling of domestic Sikh issues.

While the commission report admitted to India's possible use of disinformation tactics as retribution for Trudeau's charges, it failed to provide substantive evidence of foreign interference, effectively dismantling Trudeau's narrative and leaving him scrambling for justification over his reckless approach to foreign diplomacy.

The inquiry’s conclusions cast doubt on Trudeau's leadership and point to the potential fallout Canada will face, not just internationally but domestically as well. With increased scrutiny on his administration’s foreign policy decisions, there are calls for accountability and clarity on how such allegations were pushed without substantiated proof.

Trudeau’s government now faces continued criticism over their stance on anti-India sentiments and the growing pro-Khalistani movements within Canada, with suggestions Canada may need to reevaluate how it addresses these issues to prevent future diplomatic crises. With the report marking a pivotal moment for Canada-India relations, it remains to be seen how the Trudeau administration will navigate the fallout from these events.

The findings of the report signal not only the challenges of maintaining diplomatic integrity but suggest pressing questions surrounding who controls the narrative within the political discourse—both within Canada and abroad.

The inquiry has rendered Trudeau’s allegations and subsequent actions increasingly untenable, raising the stakes for future diplomatic relations and urging both governments to find common ground to restore trust and credibility.

You guys tend to be so patriotic that it blinds your judgement. I have spent sometime in Journalism field too and everyone should know a news piece is as good as it's original source.

Just post the original report or source. I and all would appreciate that. Instead of wasting time on reposting same links, could you post the original Canadian report or link to it

And on income, bashing Indians won't do me any good but exposing their hypocrisy is fun.
