ISLAMABAD: Indian separatist group Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) has released a footage showing “Pakistan-Khalistan Zindabad” slogans and a Khalistan flag displayed near the Indian Army cantonment in Patiala, India.

The footage was accompanied by a message directed at students, warning that “Modi will make you orphans.”

In a statement, SFJ’s General Counsel Gurpatwant Singh Pannun urged children of Indian Army personnel to question their parents: “Is it worth dying to defend Modi’s politics?”

“Who will raise you?”

He further added, “If your father or mother dies in a war against Pakistan, who will raise you?”

Pannun alleged that the war against Pakistan is driven by Prime Minister Modi’s electoral ambitions and advised children to stop their parents from fighting for India.

“Don’t let India orphan you for the sake of the Hindutva agenda,” he said.

“Tell your parents: Support Khalistan, reject Modi’s war, refuse to fight Pakistan. Liberate Punjab from Indian occupation,” the message concluded.

Don’t let India orphan you for the sake of the Hindutva agenda.” – SFJ General Counsel Gurpatwant Singh Pannun

In an interview a couple of days ago, the pro-Khalistan leader said, “20 million Sikhs living in Punjab would not allow the Indian government to attack Pakistan.”

“Indian agencies carried out Pahalgam attack”

He also claimed that “it was Indian agencies who carried out the Pahalgam attack” so that the Bharatiya Janata Party could gain political mileage for the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections.

The interview was conducted against the backdrop of the recent Pahalgam incident.
