They are targeting our diplomatic personnel and naming them as "killers" on wanted-posters:

So for anyone who says "don't pay attention to them" -- I think it's time we pay attention, because they are escalating to worse and worse levels.

Breaking: Unconfirmed reports that Khalistani terrorist Pannu has died in a road accident in US. Confirmation awaited.

I have a feeling that Khalistani handlers are eliminating them to either drive them crazy enough to attack Indian consulates or cleaning up because of some other investigations

“Pink Shabana" will be devastated again! बेचारी must be so worried now about well-being of her Close FRIEND Gopal Chawla. Why?

GRAPEVINE IS....

#Khalistani Terr0ri$t Gurpatwant, Singh Pannu has died in a road accident in #USA

He was BRAVELY hiding since last few days after his close associates were gunned down by Unidentified Gunmen in last 2 months.

जष्न after official announcement!

If true....must say that COINCIDENCE this time was just too early! Only 1 day after attack on Bharat's Consulate in San Francisco.

I'm just worried that now US shouldn't accuse Bharat of Internal Interference....like Canada!

4th Khalistani to die from unnatural causes in 2 months. Hardeep Singh Nijjar, Avatar Singh Khanda & Paramjit Singh Panjwar before that.
2 Jihadi leaders killed in Feb-Mar, from under the noses of the ISI (as was Panjwar).

Mossad at its finest did not achieve this.

Speculation Mounts Over Fate Of Khalistan Radical Gurpatwant Singh Pannu Amid Rumors Of Death On Social Media


https://www.bhaskar.com/local/punjab/am ... 85069.html
Notorious Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannu has died in a road accident in America. Pannu was underground for a long time. According to information, Pannu met with an accident on US Highway 101.
But counter

https://twitter.com/AdityaRajKaul/statu ... 3083069441
Indian Media is running unconfirmed news on the basis of social media rumours that Khalistani SFJ Terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun is dead in a road accident in US.

Officials I spoke to say he has been underground for quite some time fearing for his life after prominent Khalistani terrorists were killed worldwide inspite of protection from Pakistan ISI.

This could also be a tactic by Pannun to gain sympathy and funding. No matter what, he is a source of lot of entertainment for Indians. As of now he isn’t answering his calls. Let’s wait and see if he comes out of his rat hole soon. Watch this space for more soon.

New provocations are now happening.

https://twitter.com/CBCTerry/status/1677634397585940483

https://bnn.network/breaking-news/socia ... officials/

Today, the Bharat Mata Mandir, a Hindu temple in Brampton, was defaced with a poster being put up there:

Image

Similar signs are being put up around the area.

Image

Khalistanis in the area have declared it to be a "Warzone" - meaning that they reserve the right to wage war here.

To people on the forum saying "don't pay attention to this" -- this problem seems to be getting worse, and not subsiding on its own.
To the people on the forum saying "Canada will get bitten by allowing snakes to grow in its yard" --- no, it's not all of Canada which will get bitten, but rather people from certain communities will be targeted by the Khalistanis who will bite them.

It seems like the 1980s are now coming back.

Punjab is pretty safe from such politics, Canada on the other hand might see 1980s causing Canadian government to act and then these Khalistanis will start demanding Khalistan in Canada along with Islamists demand of Sharia.

We should find out any assets these scumbags own in India and seize them. That would serve quite a kick to their gonads.

Khalistan movement is headed for a brick wall: Terry Milewski
Indrani Ghosh, July 9, 2023

The Canadian author of the book, ‘Blood for Blood: 50 years of the Global Khalistan Project’, spoke to The Sunday Guardian.
New Delhi
With separatist Khalistani groups planning marches across a number of countries, including the US, UK, Canada and Australia on 8 July to push their propaganda, a former senior correspondent of Canada’s CBC News and author of “Blood for Blood: Fifty Years of the Global Khalistan Project”, Terry Milewski spoke to The Sunday Guardian, comparing the movement to a cur after a car and added that most Sikhs have no interest in it, so the movement is headed for a brick wall. However, as long as the idea remains, Pakistan will continue to wield the stick against India, no matter how feeble they get, he said, adding: “The Khalistanis are very loud indeed right now, but there may be some desperation in that. Their time is running out. Internal wars are sapping their energy.” Excerpts:
Q: Where is the Khalistani movement headed? Do you fear a new era of violent mass bloodbath?
A: No, I think the movement has pushed its luck too far and is now like the dog that caught the car. If you threaten to rain hell on the enemy, you eventually have to do it. The referendum has to conclude one day and it will pretend to show massive support, so Pannun can ride off to the UN with the wind in his sails. Or not. Because it’s not credible. A friend who’s a Sikh in London registered to vote as “Angelina Jolie.” Identity never checked. How many times did people vote? Nobody knows. Where is the independent commission that was supposed to validate the results? Vanished. Then the question is, so what? What about the great majority of the world’s Sikhs, in Punjab? Only 2.5 percent voted for Mann’s SADA last time—in a state that’s 58 percent Sikh! And the BJP got nearly three times as many votes! The election before that, in 2017, SADA got 0.3 percent. A pitiful failure.
Granted, an independent state was not the election issue—but polls on that tell the same story. Pew in 2019 found 95 percent of Sikhs in Punjab said they were proud to be Indians. No interest in a separate state. So, the movement is headed for a brick wall. As long as they are not at the final decision point, they’re relevant, in the news and raising money aplenty. But that can’t go on forever. Once they are exposed as irrelevant, interest, coverage and money dry up.
Q: Is the Khalistan movement still a stick in Pakistan hands, especially now with its rogue persona?
A: Pakistan has always been essential to the movement—but not because it wants the Sikhs to breathe free. It has its own reasons for bleeding India, Kashmir being the obvious one. As long as the Khalistan idea remains alive, Pakistan will take advantage of it. Otherwise, it will be, goodbye. Pakistan is already a client state of China and it depends whether China sees a future in the Khalistan issue. It has other issues. I don’t see Khalistan as being a Chinese vital interest. That could change, but Pakistan would remain the enfeebled stick with which to bleed India. Pakistan is broke.

It only comes up if you ask, and even then the word jat is used before and after.
People are more concerned about development or the lack of it.

Where I am, the Sikhs consider themselves Hindu and the Hindus consider themselves Sikhs.

My driver is Sikh, ramgharia, not interested in it. Indian flags everywhere

I do not know what Khalistani flag is? I know that Nishan sahib (A triangular Kesari/Saffron/Orange/Yellow flag with Khanda in the middle) is the regular flag that you can see at all Gurudwaras. Nishan Sahib was created by the 6th Guru Guru Hargobind ji in 1606 after the martyrdom of the 5th Guru Guru Arjan Dev ji to militarize Sikhs. This was first hoisted at Golden Temple right next to the Akal Takht.

The word nishan in Hindi means "Chinah" or in English "Mark" to denote that a Gurudwara exists here as being a flag on a high pole it can be seen from far away. It was very useful in ancient times during fights with mughals as well as during the partition riots in 1946-1947.

So! Nishan Sahib is not a Khalistani flag but a flag to notify people that a Gurudwara exists here.

I do not see a difference between Sikhs and Hindus., Sikh could mean "Students of Sri Guru Granth Sahib" while Hindus could be a larger sect of which all Sanatanis are part off. Before 1980s there was not a word "Hindu" in Punjab it was "Mona" meaning Clean shaven vs. Keshdhari (Turbaned). Mona could be anyone (Sikhs with cut hair too).
