A banned Khalistani outfit led by Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, who was designated as a terrorist by India in July 2020, has been accused of inciting Muslims, Tamils, and Christians in Manipur to secede from India, according to a background note prepared by intelligence agencies. This note was included in a Home Ministry tribunal order, which was recently made public.
The Home Ministry has extended the ban on Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) for another five years, citing its involvement in separatist activities and terror threats. The intelligence note states that SFJ planned acts of terror, including threats against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and National Security Adviser Ajit Doval.
“Dividing people on communal lines by provoking minority communities against the other communities has become a major tool for SFJ to push up its anti-India agenda,” the intelligence note stated. It further alleged that the group had been “inciting the Christian community in Manipur to raise their voices for a ‘separate country’,” urging Tamils to promote “Dravidstan” and calling on Muslims to carve out an independent “Urduistan” by claiming “minority persecution.”
The report also accused SFJ of reaching out to Dalit communities, urging them to support its secessionist campaign under the pretext of “persecution” by the Indian government. Additionally, the group was allegedly involved in provoking Punjab and Haryana farmers over the farm bills.
