Why is America SILENT now? US citizen Gurpatwant Singh Pannun threatens to attack Indian Parliament

Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun has released a video in which he said he would attack the Indian Parliament on or before December 13 following an alleged foiled plot to kill him. Notably, December 13 will mark the 22nd anniversary of Parliament attack by terrorists in 2001.

 

In the video which featured a poster of the 2001 Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru with the caption 'Delhi Banega Khalistan' (Delhi will turn into Khalistan), Pannun said a conspiracy to kill him by Indian agencies had failed. He asserted he will respond by attacking the Parliament on or before December 13.

 

Pannun's threat came as Parliament is holding its Winter Session, which began on Monday. The session will go on till December 22.

 

Security agencies are on high alert after Pannun's threat video surfaced. According to sources, security agencies said the K-2 (Kashmir-Khalistan) desk of Pakistan's intelligence agency ISI had given directions to Pannun to further their agenda of propagating the anti-India narrative.

 

 

 

Last month, The Financial Times, citing unnamed sources, reported that US authorities foiled a plot to kill Pannun and issued a warning to the Indian government over concerns it was involved in the plot. Pannun is the chief of US-based Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), which is banned in India, and is wanted by the Indian probe agencies.

 

US federal prosecutors also charged a 52-year-old Indian national Nikhil Guptaof working with an Indian government employee in the foiled plot to kill Pannun. US prosecutors informed a Manhattan court that authorities in the Czech Republic arrested and detained Gupta.

 

A press release by the US Justice Department, quoting court documents, said that earlier this year, "an Indian government employee, working together with others, including Gupta, in India and elsewhere, directed a plot to assassinate on US soil an attorney and political activist who is a US citizen of Indian-origin residing in New York City".

 

In response, India expressed concern about one of its government officials being linked to the plot, from which it dissociated itself, as being against government policy.

India said last week it would formally investigate the concerns aired by the US, and take "necessary follow-up action" on the findings of a panelset up on November 18.
