Khalistani terrorist Pannun latest warning amid hoax bomb threats: 'Don't board Air India in November'

 Amid several hoax bomb threats to a number of Indian carriers, Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun on Monday issued a fresh warning to travellers not to fly on Air India flights between November 1 and 19, claiming that an attack is possible on any of its plane during the specified dates, which coincides with the “40th anniversary of the Sikh genocide”.

As per a report in CNN News18, Pannun, who holds dual citizenship of the US and Canada, has also warned Sikh ‘panth’ not to fly in Air India.

“From November 19. There will be a global blockade. Air India won’t be allowed to operate,” he threatened.    

His latest warning follows a pattern where he issued a similar threat around the same time last year when he released a video claiming that New Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport would be renamed and warned passengers against flying on Air India.

Pannun, the founder of Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), has been designated as a terrorist by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) in July 2020 for promoting “separatism and inciting violence”.  

The latest threat from Pannun also comes at a time when India and Canada are engaged in a diplomatic row after allegations by Justin Trudeau’s administration of India targeting Khalistani elements in the country, including the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar in 2023.
