Pannun claims fresh death threat after FBI, Canadian police warning

Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, chief of the Sikhs for Justice organization, has asserted that he faces a fresh threat to his life, claiming that authorities from the United States and Canada have alerted him to a credible plot against him.

Pannun, a vocal advocate for Khalistan, has been at the center of international diplomatic tensions following allegations that Indian government agents were involved in plots to assassinate him on foreign soil. Both Washington and Ottawa have previously issued statements regarding security concerns surrounding the activist.

The renewed threat assessment comes as investigations continue into alleged assassination attempts, with Canadian authorities reportedly stepping up scrutiny into potential activities by Indian state actors within their borders. The United States has similarly expressed concerns about extrajudicial operations on American territory.

Pannun has consistently maintained that he faces significant security risks due to his separatist activities and international advocacy. His claims have intensified diplomatic friction between India and Western nations, with both the US and Canada raising questions about alleged breaches of their sovereignty in counterterrorism and national security matters.

India has previously dismissed accusations regarding any involvement in targeting the activist, while authorities continue to monitor the situation closely.
