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.

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.
