Canada: Big Crackdown on Khalistani Terrorist who was Frightening Hindus

Acting against Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, Khalistani terrorist and head of the banned separatist organisation Sikhs for Justice, the National Investigation Agency today seized his house in Punjab's Chandigarh and confiscated land owned by him in Amritsar.

Pannun faces 22 criminal cases in Punjab, including three of sedition. The confiscated properties include 46 Kanal of agricultural property in his ancestral village, Khankot, located on the outskirts of Amritsar district. Another property, house no 2033 in Sector 15-C, Chandigarh, has also been seized.

Pannu, the self-styled General Counsel of the outlawed Sikhs for Justice, has now lost rights to the property, and it now belongs to the government. In 2020, his properties were attached, which meant he could not sell the property.

"The action, which comes as a big boost to the country's crackdown on the terror and secessionist network being operated from various countries, including Canada, followed confiscation orders passed by the NIA Special Court, SAS Nagar, Mohali," NIA said in a statement. 

He had recently threatened Indo Canadian Hindus to leave the country and return to India. In a viral video amid a massive diplomatic row between the two countries over the murder of another Khalistani terrorist, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, Pannun was heard saying, "Indo-Canadian Hindus, you have repudiated your allegiance to Canada and Canadian Constitution. Your destination is India. Leave Canada, go to India."

"Pro Khalistan Sikhs have always been loyal to Canada. They have always sided with Canada, and they have always upheld the laws and the Constitution," he added.

Pannun also urged all Canadian Sikhs to gather in Vancouver on October 29 for a referendum to vote on whether the Indian High Commissioner Sanjay Kumar Verma was responsible for Hardeep Singh Nijjar's killing.
