Khalistan extremists twist tragedy to fuel hate

At the forefront is Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a known Khalistani terrorist, whose latest propaganda stunt has drawn widespread condemnation and raised serious questions for Western governments that continue to offer him shelter.

In a deeply disturbing video lasting just under two and a half minutes, Pannun — speaking like a mouthpiece for anti-India forces — openly pledged a staggering $11 million to those willing to spy on Indian military installations.

His callous appeal specifically targets Sikh soldiers stationed across Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan, brazenly attempting to sow distrust and discord within India’s armed forces.

The video not only incites treachery but aims to fracture the unity of Sikh soldiers who have long served India with distinction and pride.

What makes this incident even more concerning is Pannun’s recent appearance on Pakistani news channels, further solidifying suspicions of his collusion with Pakistan’s notorious intelligence agency, the ISI. The unholy alliance between Khalistan extremists and foreign state actors is no longer speculation — it’s a dangerous reality.

This is not the expression of a political movement seeking justice; it is the exploitation of tragedy to stoke violence. Khalistani groups continue to misuse sensitive moments — be they domestic unrest or global diplomatic challenges — to insert their separatist rhetoric, undermining peace and poisoning diaspora communities with hate.

It is long past time for countries like the United States and Canada to stop turning a blind eye. While these democracies pride themselves on protecting free speech, there is a clear and urgent distinction between expression and incitement. When individuals like Pannun use Western soil to peddle extremist propaganda, threaten national security, and openly call for espionage, it’s not free speech — it’s terrorism.

As the global community increasingly grapples with the rise of violent extremism, ignoring threats like Pannun sends the wrong message. Democratic nations must act — not just to support their allies, but to protect the values they claim to uphold.

How can Sikh soldiers, or any citizens, be expected to serve with honor when extremists actively work to undermine their loyalty and safety?

This isn’t just an Indian problem. It’s a global wake-up call.
