The UK counter-terrorism Police arrested two British Sikhs in connection with ongoing investigations into ‘allegations of extremist activity in India and fraud offences’ in Birmingham on July 3, reports The Times of India. The arrested individuals were identified as 38-year-old Deepa Singh, who runs the group Sikh Youth UK (SYUK), and a 49-year-old female relative of his. Later, it also emerged that the Charity Commission, which regulates UK charities, had opened a statutory inquiry on November 15, 2018, into funds held by and raised in connection with SYUK. A Police spokeswoman said that, "A number of search warrants were carried out in September into suspected terrorist offences in the UK relating to activity in India as well as fraud offences. Two people were detained in connection with alleged fraud offences." However, two arrestees were released on bail and will either be charged within 28 days or released pending further investigations.

Indian intelligence agencies apprehend that Pakistan is more concerned and interested in opening of the Kartarpur Sahib corridor because it wants to exploit Sikh sentiments to support the Khalistani agenda in India, reports The Times of India on July 5. The security agencies also apprehend that after opening of the corridor, Sikh radicalization will be increased manifold in the State of Punjab. These observations were made by top security agencies of the country in meeting held few months ago to discuss issues related to management of border in Punjab.

A mega exercise to fortify the ‘anti-infiltration grid’ along the Pakistan border in Punjab and Jammu (Jammu and Kashmir) has been launched by the Border Security Force (BSF), Daily Excelsior reports on July 7. The operation, code named Sudarshan, was launched on July 1, 2019, and will cover the entire over 1,000-kms length of the India-Pakistan International Border (IB) in Punjab and Jammu. While Jammu shares about 485-kms of the IB with Pakistan, about 553-kms of the front is in Punjab. Frontier and battalion commanders (from the Inspector General to the Commandant rank), their second-in-commands and company (unit) commanders of the about 40 battalions of the BSF are camping in the forward areas of the two states to finish the operation within a fortnight and be at their bases by July 15, they said.

The incidents of Sikh pilgrims being recruited by Pakistani intelligence agencies for pushing the pro-Khalistan movement have become a matter of concern for Indian security establishment, reports International Business Times on July 8. The issue of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) supporting the "Referendum 2020" campaign has come to the fore a week before India meets Pakistan to discuss Kartarpur Corridor operations. While Pakistan banned the pro-Khalistan activities, a senior Indian security official revealed that the ISI has been promoting the agenda under the guise of Sikh pilgrimage. He revealed that Indian Sikh ‘Jathas’ (pilgrimage groups), who visit Pakistan under the Bilateral Protocol on Visits to Religious Shrines of 1974, are targeted by the separatist organisation. "Sikhs coming directly to Pakistan from Canada, UK and Germany are tutored on the so-called referendum campaign, which is largely funded by Islamabad," he said.

The other arrestees were identified as two ethnic Rohingya from Myanmar (detained for providing support to the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army [ARSA], the insurgent group) and a 54-year-old Philippine national with alleged ties to Abu Sayyaf, a militant organisation aligned with the Islamic State (IS).

The Government of India on July 10 banned the pro-Khalistan radical group, Sikhs For Justice (SFJ) for five years and declared it as an “unlawful association” under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, reports The Times of India. A senior Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) official said all the major Sikh bodies consulted ahead of the five-year ban had supported the action and that the Centre had largely relied on the “material” sent by Punjab Government to impose the ban. The US-based secessionist outfit with the primary objective of establishing an independent and sovereign country has its top leadership based in US, UK and Canada, with just 8-10 active members and negligible support base in India. It has been aiding and funding small groups of radicalised Sikhs to revive militancy in Punjab, as evident from investigations by National Investigation Agency (NIA) and Punjab Police in 11 related cases. UMHA sources said SFJ has active links with Pak-based terrorist outfits and had supported the Pulwama terror attack. The UMHA, in its notification, stated that SFJ was involved in anti-national and subversive activities in Punjab; was in close touch with militant outfits and activists supporting violent form of extremism in Punjab and elsewhere to carve out a sovereign Khalistan; was encouraging and aiding the activities for secession; and supporting separatist groups in India and elsewhere. SFJ enjoys strong online presence through social media accounts run in its own name or by its leaders — main promoter Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a New York-based attorney, apart from Hardip Singh Nijjer and Paramjit Singh Pamma who are principal proponents of “Referendum 2020” in Canada and UK respectively.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) special court in Lucknow on July 10 convicted five operatives of the ‘Babbar Khalsa 2020’ outfit facing charges under Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) and also conspiring to assassinate former Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal in 2018, apart from supporting the Khalistan movement, reports The Indian Express. Four of them had also attacked and looted two service rifles from Policemen in Shamli District of Uttar Pradesh last year (2018) to use the weapons in the attack on Badal. While four of the accused were sentenced to seven years’ imprisonment, another was sentenced to five years. The NIA had filed chargesheet against five accused, Gurjant Singh alias Jinta of Saharanpur, Amrit Singh of Haryana, Karam Singh, Karamveer Singh and Jarman Singh, who belong to Shamli, on April 11.

Punjab Chief Minister Chief Minister Captain (Retd.) Amarinder Singh on July 11 described the ban on the pro-Khalistan outfit Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) as the first step towards protecting the nation from the anti-India and secessionist plans and designs of the Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI)-backed organisation, reports India Today. He said the association should be declared a terror organisation. According to top Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) officials, "Central government has today sent a strong warning to fringe groups operating from foreign soils that it will not tolerate secessionist activities, whether carried out in India or abroad, and will take strong action against such entities under law." Punjab Police and National Investigation Agency (NIA) have busted several modules of SFJ found indulging in various subversive activities in Punjab. Investigations revealed that the activists were radicalized and funded by abroad based SFJ handlers - Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, Harmeet Singh, Paramjit Singh Pamma, etc. Ten cases have been lodged with Punjab Police while one case is with NIA in which 39 accused have been arrested.

The Government of India on July 11 downplayed the threats by al Qaeda and Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) saying, they are not to be taken seriously, reports The Asian Age. Dismissing the threat video of al Qaeda ‘chief’ Ayman al-Zawahiri, where he is instigating bloodshed in Jammu and Kashmir, External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said that India has the capability of taking care of its territorial integrity and sovereignty and there is no need to take these threats seriously. “We keep hearing of such threats and it is not the first time that we received such a threat. I don’t think we need to take it seriously. Al Qaeda is a UN-prescribed terror organisation and their leader is a UN-designated terrorist. Our security forces are capable and equipped... They have the capability of taking care of our territorial integrity and sovereignty. Not to worry about these threats,” he said. Terming the pro-Khalistan group “Sikhs For Justice” a fringe group, Raveesh Kumar said that the organisation has no traction within the mainstream Sikh community and India takes no cognisance of what such fringe elements say.

The legal adviser of the pro-Khalistan group Sikhs For Justice (SFJ), Gurpatwant Singh Pannun had approached the Chinese authorities and claimed that there was ‘suppression of indigenous people's democratic movements of self-determination’ not only in Punjab but also in Kashmir and north-eastern states, reports The Times of India on July 12. According to an intelligence report, SFJ had started new propaganda warfare against India through social media to instigate the Khalistan issue. "Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, attorney of law, New York, legal adviser, SFJ, wrote a letter to Yao Jing, ambassador of China to Pakistan informing them about the role of an Indian intelligence agency in attack on Chinese consulate in Karachi, Pakistan, on November 23, 2018," according to intelligence report. He further eulogized that India has not only been involved in trans-border activities against its neighbours but also violently suppressing the indigenous people’s democratic movements for right of self-determination from Punjab, Assam, Manipur and Nagaland to Kashmir,” according to a recently-prepared note by intelligence agencies about the role of Pannun in revival of militancy in Punjab. The intelligence reports also revealed that the SFJ had started new propaganda warfare against India through social media, especially by launching “Burn the tricolour” videos to instigate the Khalistan issue, disrupt peace, social harmony and to create unrest in India. “SFJ uploaded some videos showing Khalistani supporters burning the Tricolour and sought other Sikhs from all over the world to do the same. According to them, this burning of the Indian flag will be a step taken as revenge of sacrilege of Harmandir Sahib by Indian armed forces in 1984,” according to the report.

Ahead of the India-Pakistan talks over Kartarpur corridor on July 14, Pakistan removed the name of pro-Khalistan leader Gopal Singh Chawla from the committee on July 12, reports India TV. The development was confirmed through an official statement on July 12, which said, “The Federal Government (Federal Cabinet) has been pleased to re-constitute the Pakistan Sikh Gurudwara Parbandhak Committee (PSGPC).” Chawla is a close associate of Mumbai attacks mastermind Hafiz Saeed and resides in Pakistan. He is suspected of planning terrorist attacks in India. Gopal Singh Chawla is even said to hold meetings with global terrorist Masood Azhar and Pakistan Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan. A few days back, pictures showing Chawla in an interaction with Pakistan Army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa were also circulated on the social media.

The intelligence sources revealed that Pakistan is using pro-Khalistan Sikh terrorists to smuggle drugs into India via carpet exports to the west and south-east Asia for fueling militancy in Punjab, reports Business Standard on July 14. Sources said that Paramjit Singh Panjwar, ‘chief’ of the terror outfit Khalistan Commando Force (KCF), is based in Lahore since 1994, whereas his wife and two sons live in Frankfurt in Germany. The nexus has been exposed after massive seizures of drugs shipped from Pakistan by the Coast Guards of the Maldives, Sri Lanka and India in recent months. Sources said that Pakistan is using neighbouring countries, particularly Sri Lanka and the Maldives to pump drugs into India.

After being banned by the Government of India, the Sikhs For Justice (SFJ) said the group would now lobby with the United State (US), Canadian, United Kingdom (UK) and European Governments, ‘exposing how India brands mere expression through peaceful means of a peaceful political opinion as ‘terrorism’ and seeks to curb dissent’, reports The Times of India on July 16. SFJ legal adviser Gurpatwant Singh Pannun said that, “Initiatives like Khalistan Referendum 2020 are clearly allowed as peaceful and democratic expression of political opinion. It is time that the government of India should learn the fact that world, especially western countries, are not sham democracies like India. Freedom of speech and political opinion, no matter how controversial or uncomfortable that opinion may be, is protected in these countries.” Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, who hails from Khankot village in Amritsar District and studied at Panjab University, Chandigarh, before immigrating to the US. Reacting to the demand by a Punjab Minister that he should be extradited, the latter said recently INTERPOL denied India’s request to issue red corner notice (RCN) against him in one case and since the remaining cases were also ‘either political in nature and fabricated’, he was sure any extradition attempt by the Government of India would meet the same fate. “It does not surprise me that they filed such frivolous cases against me and other Referendum 2020 campaigners in Punjab,” he said. Rejecting Punjab Chief Minister (CM) Amarinder Singh’s charge that the Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) was backing the SFJ, Pannun said, “We filed defamation charges against Capt when he said it during his visit to the USA and Canada. As we all know, in defamation cases, truth is the best defence, but Punjab CM instead of presenting any evidence of an SFJ-ISI nexus in the Canadian court, is avoiding to answer the latter’s summons in this case,” he said.

After his removal from the Kartarpur corridor committee, the Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (PSGPC) General Secretary, pro-Khalistani leader Gopal Singh Chawla in a video on the social media said that “Pakistan treated him worse than a dog”, reports The New Indian Express on July 18. "Pakistan ne hamey kutta bhi nahi samjha," he was heard saying in the video. He said, despite all the sacrifices made by him, he was booted out of the panel. "We understand the decision was a part of a policy, but at least the PSGPC members could have been called for a meeting before announcing the decision. No one even asked for our views. We were treated like dogs," he said. Earlier, acceding to India's request, Pakistan dropped Chawla from a panel linked to the Kartarpur Corridor, ahead of the July 14 meeting between officials of the two sides on the cross-border corridor. The Pakistan Government announced a new 10-member PSGPC, minus Chawla, following objections from India. However, the PSGPC has included another known pro-Khalistani leader, Ameer Singh, in the panel. Ameer Sing, the brother of known Khalistani leader Bishen Singh is said to be among the frontline leaders of the Khalistani movement in Pakistan.

India, in a dossier to Pakistan, has mentioned nearly 30 instances in the past four years when Sikh pilgrims visiting the neighbouring country were subjected to ‘anti-India propaganda’ such as espousing the Khalistani cause, reports The Hindu on July 18. The 23-page dossier was handed over to the Pakistani delegation during the Kartarpur corridor talks held at Wagah on July 14. Gopal Singh Chawla, a key “Khalistani element”, instigated the Sikh community to support Kashmiris for the formation of “Azad Kashmir”, says the dossier. In April 2019, Chawla, president of the Punjabi Sikh Sangat (PSS), “raised the demand of liberation of Punjab and Kashmir from India” during a function at Panja Sahib in Attock District in Pakistan where Indian pilgrims were present, the dossier says. The dossier also contains a photograph of Chawla with Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) ‘chief’ Hafiz Saeed. India said that Chawla was a well-known “Khalistani element who often spews venom against India in his speeches and supports militancy in Punjab”. The paper also contained a “pictorial catalogue of his anti-India activities on social media”. Eleven photographs culled out from Chawla’s Facebook account include posters of J.S. Bhindranwale, a Sikh separatist killed in 1984 during the anti-Sikh militancy raids in Amritsar, and “Referendum 2020”. Jagroop Singh Rupa, who went with a jatha to Pakistan in 2016, was imparted arms training by two fugitive Sikh militants Lakhbir Singh Rode and Harmeet Singh alias PhD, to “carry out terror attacks in India.” India said the recently banned Sikhs For Justice (SFJ) was given a free hand to promote secessionism during visits of pilgrims. The dossier also mentioned names of others like Tara Singh, Bishan Singh and Maninder Singh were named in the dossier for displaying Khalistani propaganda and leading a protest against India at Wagah border in July 2017.

Terror camps across the border in Pakistan are being used to train pro-Khalistani members, Indian intelligence agencies inform the Central Government and Security Forces (SFs), reports DNA on July 20. “There are around 20 to 25 pro-Khalistani members in the camps getting arms and bomb-making training. There are also 30 new recruits of Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba undergoing training. Both the groups are kept together,” the intelligence agencies have said in a message to security establishments. They have also shared the locations of the camps on the other side of the Line of Control (LoC). A senior officer called it a disturbing development. He said never have such a large number of pro-Khalistani members been given arms training. The officer said that India’s ban on the US-based secessionist group Sikhs For Justice (SFJ), which supports the idea of Khalistan, has also an impact in Pakistan, with “more youths talking about Khalistan and of joining the terror groups”.

The Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (PSGPC) on July 19 elected its new president and secretary-general, days after the Imran Khan Government dissolved the body following India's objection to the presence of Khalistani separatists as part of the Pakistani delegation discussing the Kartarpur Corridor, reports The New Indian Express. The elected members of the PSGPC representing all four provinces of the country "unanimously elected Sardar Satwant Singh its Pardhan (president) and Sardar Ameer Singh the secretary-general, a notification issued by the Evacuee Trust Property Board (ETPB) said. Earlier on July 14, ahead of second round of talks on the Kartarpur Corridor, the Pakistan Government dissolved the PSGPC following protest by India over the presence of a pro-Khalistan activist and PSGPC secretary-general Gopal Singh Chawla. With the dissolution of the Sikh body, PSGPC Pardhan (president) Sardar Tara Singh also lost his position. None of them were included in the new PSGPC board. Chawla's presence with Pakistan Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa at the ground-breaking ceremony of the Kartarpur Corridor in November 2018 drew strong criticism from India.

Pakistan, which has sabotaged the previous peace initiatives between the two countries, must be hatching anti-Indian conspiracies around the Kartarpur Corridor too, warns Indian security experts, reports The Asian Age on July 23. Pakistan has nothing to do with the welfare of any minority community and its diabolic gestures will be exposed in coming times, said Dipankar Sengupta, a senior professor at the Jammu University. He said that Pakistan was taking advantage of the fact that there were more Sikh shrines inside its territory. "This is something of emotional significance and has emotional value to millions of Sikhs who live in India. What Pakistan does is that it takes advantage of the fact that many of the holy shrines of Sikhism are in Pakistan. They try to take advantage of the emotional assets that they have," Sengupta said. There are multiple pieces of evidence available in the public domain that establish Pakistan's consistent role in propagating the Khalistan propaganda. While it has been constantly pumping in huge sums of money in western countries to keep its objectives alive, it has also been trying to reach to Indian Sikhs. "Whenever Indian Sikhs travel on the other side, you have all these people trying to basically foment propaganda, disaffection, trying to look on for spies and so on and so forth. Unfortunately for Pakistan, its image has become so bad that nobody wants to be seen friendly with that country," Sengupta added.

The Central Government has empowered eight states, including Punjab and Delhi, with a “sizeable presence of Sikh population” to take action against Sikhs For Justice (SFJ) if they try “to brainwash Sikh community in favour of Khalistan movement”, reports The Economic Times on July 26. US-based SFJ was banned under Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) earlier this month "for openly espousing the cause of Khalistan" and "pushing for Sikh Referendum 2020." In its order, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) noted, “..In exercise of the powers conferred by section 42 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967 (37 of 1967), the central government hereby directs that all powers exercisable by it under section 7 and section 8 of the said act shall be exercised also by the state governments of Punjab, Haryana, Jammu and Kashmir, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, government of National Capital Territory of Delhi and Chandigarh administration”. “Centre doesn't have the wherewithal or jurisdiction to implement the notification in these states. This notification deals with only those states which have a sizeable Sikh population and where the organisations like SFJ can play foul and try to brainwash Sikh community in favor of the Khalistan movement, through various means,” a senior UMHA official said. According to UMHA officials, there are 12 cases registered against SFJ in the past four years where 39 people have been arrested. "The group’s online supporters were over 2 lakh but physically it's only a group of 8-10 people," the official added. Recently, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) named legal advisor of SFJ, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, in a first information report (FIR) for trying to raise funds and carrying out secessionist activities on ground as well as on social media with an intention to instigate members of Sikh community from India. Earlier, SFJ was named by India in its 23-page dossier on Kartarpur corridor handed over to Pakistan.

Intelligence agencies fear that the terrorists in the jails across the country are converting the common prisoners into jihadis, reports DNA on July 30. The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) decided that soon all the states will be asked to separate the terrorists from the inmates and create a separate jail for the terrorists who are being punished in different jails across the country. To keep common prisoners away from them. The Ministry has decided that a high-security prison will be created in every state and all the terrorists would be shifted to those jails. According to the sources, there have been many such cases in the last few days, in which terrorists are either terrorizing common prisoners or have turned many of them into jihadis. According to sources, many Khalistan terrorists in Punjab prisons have been found to be inciting the other jailbirds against the country and brainwashing them. According to intelligence agencies, Jammu and Kashmir jails are at the risk of the highest radicalisation.

Around 500 Indian Sikhs arrived in Pakistan on July 30 to take part in celebrations in connection with the 550th birth anniversary of Sikh faith founder Guru Nanak Dev, reports First Post. According to sources, since the arrival of the Indian Sikhs was kept in a "low profile" neither the Evacuee Trust Property Board (ETPB), which looks after holy places of minorities in the country, nor the Pakistan Gurdwara Parbhandhak Committee (PSGPC) were taken on board by the Imran Khan Government regarding their arrival. The Pakistani media was also not invited to the venue to cover the arrival of the Sikh pilgrims from India. However, the Pakistan foreign office later in the day issued a statement confirming the arrival of 500 Indian Sikhs but did not tell whether they crossed over via under construction Kartarpur corridor or Wagah border.

The former Director-General of Police (DGP), Punjab, Shashi Kant said that Pakistan-backed pro-Khalistani Sikhs are trying to set up their new bases in the United Kingdom (UK), especially in Birmingham city, reports Business Standard on July 31. Shashi Kant said, "Now, they are trying to get a good foothold in Birmingham where they have been organising rallies." "There have been demands from India that the Khalistani activists abroad, should not be permitted to hold rallies but the British government has been taking up a different stand citing that as long as they do not indulge in violence, they are unable to take action," he added. Kant's statement came at the heels of a surge in anti-India activities by Khalistani Sikhs in major cities of the UK. He also underlined the key role of Pakistan's spy agency, Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) in fanning of such sentiments. "Pakistan has failed to pierce through the youth of Punjab who are not buying the narratives floated by ISI-backed machinery. However, it has been relentless. After receiving multiple failures in Punjab, it is now trying to turn the Sikhs in European and American countries against India," he said. Kant said that the Khalistanis were exploiting the emotions of gullible Punjabis to set their agenda and achieve their diabolic ambitions. He said, "A number of persons have been collecting a massive amount of money on this particular issue. I will call it the emotional blackmailing of Sikhs who are very simple persons and emotional."
