New Delhi, Dec 7: The intelligence agencies have reportedly alerted the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) about banned secessionist group Sikhs For Justice’s (SFJ) plan to ‘shut down’ Indian embassies in London, New York and Toronto on December 10.
Emboldened by the stance of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, UK MPs and representative of UN Secretary General supporting the farmers’ protests in India, the pro-Khalistan quartet of Paramjit Singh Pamma, Gurmit Singh Bagga, Hardeep Singh Nijjar and Gurpatwant Singh Pannun has announced to shut down the Indian consulates.
The agencies got inputs about the SFJ’s declaration through different internet sites where the group posted a mail regarding “shut down of Indian consulates in London, Birmingham, Frankfurt, Vancouver, Toronto, Washington DC, San Francisco and New York on December 10”.
Emphasising that Khalistan is the only solution to Punjab farmers’ plight, Pannun, the General Counsel of SFJ, said, “We have given the call for shutting down Indian consulates on UN Human Rights Day to expose India’s 70-year policy of ‘Sikh genocide to farmers’ econocide’ to the world community.”
Acknowledging Canada Prime Minister Trudeau’s support for the farmers protesting against the farm laws, SFJ’s wanted terrorist Nijjar, who spearheads the Punjab Referendum campaign in Canada, stated that “we will use our rights granted by the Canadian Charter to picket Indian consulates in Vancouver and Toronto”.
The inputs came at a time when thousands of farmers from Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh are rallying at Delhi’s borders since November 26. (IANS)
