Indian government has received a fresh threat from the leader of Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), Gurpatwant Singh Pannun. In a recent statement, Pannun stated that the governments of the United States and Canada are unable to help India in dealing with the ongoing farmers’ protests and other issues. He directly addressed Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, stating that SFJ and the Sikh community would continue their efforts to seek justice and independence through peaceful means.
The statement comes amidst the ongoing farmers’ protests in India, where thousands of farmers have been demonstrating against new agricultural laws enacted by the government. The protests have sparked widespread debate and attracted international attention and support from various quarters.
Pannun’s remarks may be seen as an attempt to assert the SFJ’s presence and influence in the ongoing agitation. The SFJ, a US-based Sikh separatist group, has been advocating for an independent Sikh nation called Khalistan. The Indian government has labeled the group as a terrorist organization, accusing it of supporting and funding militant activities in India.
While Pannun’s statement claims that the United States and Canada cannot help India, it is important to note that both countries have previously expressed concerns over the ongoing farmers’ protests and have called for peaceful resolutions. However, they have reiterated their commitment to non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries.
The Indian government has been engaging in talks with the farmers’ organizations to address their concerns. Several rounds of negotiations have taken place, but a resolution is yet to be reached. The government maintains that the new agricultural laws are necessary for the modernization of the agricultural sector and will benefit farmers in the long run.
As the protests continue, it remains to be seen how the Indian government will respond to Pannun’s latest threat and if international pressure will have any impact on the ongoing farmers’ agitation.
