Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun appeared on Canadian broadcaster CBC News and revealed that he had been communicating with Canada Prime Minister's Office for the last 2-3 years.
Pannun, whose organisation Sikhs For Justice is banned in India for promoting Khalistani terrorist activities, said, "(Canadian Prime Minister Justin) Trudeau's statement shows Canada's unwavering commitment to justice, rule of law, and national security. And Sikhs for Justice has been communicating with the Prime Minister's Office for the last 2-3 years, detailing all the spy network."
Pannun alleged his organisation informed the Canadian PMO about how Indian High Commissioner Sanjay Verma, his second-in-command and the official before him laid out the spy networks which provided "logistics and intelligence support to the Indian agents who assassinated Hardeep Singh Nijjar".
Notably, India recalled High Commissioner Sanjay Verma and some other diplomats from Canada on October 14. This came after Canada named Verma and a few other diplomats as 'persons of interest' in the investigation into Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar's murder. India also expelled six Canadian diplomats from the country.
Incidentally, Pannun's admission is similar to the charges made by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, which claimed to have identfied "links tying agents of the Indian government to homicides and violent acts in Canada".
According to the RCMP, these violent acts are targeted at the South Asian community, "specifically targeting pro-Khalistani elements in Canada".
However, neither the RCMP nor Justin Trudeau have been able to produce any concrete evidence to back their charge.
In the CBC News interview, Pannun also accused the Indo-Canadian community of not being loyal to the Canadian Constitution.
"These Indo-Canadians, who have family ties back home in India, are they loyal to the Canadian Constitution or they still want to show their commitment to the Indian Constitution? Because since the assassination of Hardeep Nijjar, I have not seen any Indo-Canadian organisation which is supporting the Modi regime, coming out in open. This includes some of the Indo-Canadian MPs who have not supported Prime Minister Trudeau since September 18 (2023) when he came out openly," Pannun said.
In the past, Pannun has threatened Indo-Canadian Hindus to leave the country and return to India.
"Indo-Canadian Hindus, you have repudiated your allegiance to Canada and Canadian Constitution. Your destination is India. Leave Canada, go to India," he said in a video released last year.
