Amritsar

Pakistani intelligence agency ISI is funding pro-Khalistan groups in India and abroad, according to intelligence inputs. The report said a group of 22 Sikh youths who were recently found raising pro-Khalistan slogans on the periphery of the Golden Temple near Akal Takht in Amritsar, were instructed to take help from Pakistan to spread violence in India. The report further said that the ISI is also funding Sikh radical outfits including Babbar Khalsa in India, US, Germany and Canada.

According to a report the Pakistani spy agency can also use the ultras of four Khalistan terrorist groups - Ranjit Singh Meeta - headed Khalistan Zindabad Force (KZF), Jagtar Singh Tara-headed Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF), Wadhawa Singh-led Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) and Harminder Singh Minto-led Khalistan Liberation Force (KLF) - to revive militancy and launch terror strikes in Punjab. The ISI and the radical Sikh groups are trying to lure unemployed youths to join terror groups, it added.

The Indian security agencies have compiled an elaborate document on how Germany has become a meeting point of BKI and other terrorist groups of late. There have been massive Germany-based recruitments in BKI in recent months, agencies have been informed.

As per the document, BKI modules have been under immense pressure from Pakistan's ISI to attack Indian establishments. The latter has even asked BKI to coordinate with outfits like LeT. As per an intelligence communique circulated among agencies a few months ago, BKI's Pakistan-based commander Wadhwa Singh and his counterpart from LeT held a number of meetings in Choburjee, Lahore. They have been trying to orchestrate a "synchronized attack" on Punjab and Delhi, sources said.

Intelligence inputs generated less than a month ago indicated ISI officials in Pakistan had met terrorists from jihadi outfits like LeT together with Sikh militants associated with BKI and KZF remnants, to plot strikes in Punjab, J&K and Delhi. Nearly 15-20 terrorists who were trained by ISI, which also issued funds for the anti-India strikes, were acquainted with Sikh traditions and Gurmukhi script at Kartarpur Sahib, a gurudwara in Pakistan, with the help of KZF's Ranjit Singh. They were also briefed on the topography of Punjab.

November 21 Punjab

Pakistan's intelligence agency, ISI, recently held a meeting with terrorist outfits, including LeT, JeM, Babbar Khalsa and KZF, to revive the Khalistan movement in Punjab and execute more Gurdaspur-style terror attacks to destabilise peace in the state.

KZF 'chief', Ranjeet Singh alias Neeta, is said to be working closely with the ISI to carry out terror attacks in Punjab. According to intelligence inputs, Neeta has provided two-month-long language training to LeT's Fidayeens (suicide bombers) near Gurudwara Kartarpur Sahib near Lahore, in Punjab (Pakistan). "The terrorists have been trained by Neeta in the Sikh tradition and Gurumukhi script. They are likely to be disguised as locals following infiltration. Local police departments and state law enforcement agencies have been put on high alert," intelligence input based on intercepted communication revealed

ISI and terror groups sheltered by the Pakistani state authorities have been systematically trying to revive the militancy in Punjab with the help of Babbar Khalsa and outfits such as the KZF. The Pakistan-based outfits are also getting financial support from sympathisers in Germany and the UK.
