A National Investigation Agency (NIA) report state that at least 33 alleged Pakistani terrorists have crossed into India from the Punjab and Samba-Kathua sectors in Jammu &Kashmir since October 2017, reports The Print on February 7. The NIA report suggests that the terrorists may have infiltrated through the same sector that the attackers, who carried out the Pathankot Air Base attack and the Nagrota Army camp attack had used. According to the report, the standard operating procedure is to sneak in a group of five terrorists at a time. The Over Ground Workers (OGW) of terrorists help them with travel, stay and other logistics. Following the interrogation of two modules of arrested alleged OGWs, it was found that five terrorists had crossed over on the night 23-24 October 2017. On the intervening night of 30-31 December 2017, a group of another five terrorists crossed the border. This was followed by another group on the intervening night of 14-15 January 2018, 13-14 March, 13-14 April, 13-14 May and a group of three terrorists in the intervening night of 11-12 September 2018. Multiple intelligence inputs have revealed that over the past several months, Pakistan is changing its focus to the international border for infiltration. NIA report also details new launch pads that have allegedly been set up by Pakistan opposite the Jammu region. These launch pads have been set up opposite Kathua and Baniyal, Hiranagar, Samba and R.S. Pura sectors.

An intelligence report submitted in the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) claims that Canada-based Khalistani activists, backed by the Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence(ISI), is planning to target retired Police and Army Personnel to spread terror in Punjab, reports The New Indian Express on June 5. However, the Punjab State Government has rubbished these claims.As per the reports, certain Khalistani sympathisers in Canada have been assigned the task to revive militancy in Punjab under `Project Harvesting Canada’.A high-level meeting held onJune 4, chaired by Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh, reviewed the state’s internal security and took stock of the law and order. They, however, raised doubts about the authenticity of the intel report.Singh agreed with his lawmakers and said that these inputs seemed far-fetched and detached from ground realities. However, he ordered the police to take all possible steps to verify such reports and check the spread of rumours which could lead to panic among people.The meeting comes a day after Punjab police said Pakistan-based Khalistan Liberation Force (KLF) handler Harmeet Singh alias ‘Happy PhD’ was plotting to carry out a Rajasansi-like attack on the anniversary of Operation Bluestar.The disclosure surfaced after a seizure of smuggled hand grenades at Kukranwala Adda in Ajnala, Amritsar.Police said Harmeet ‘PhD’, also a suspect in the grenade attack on a prayer congregation at the Nirankari Bhawan in Rajasansi, was believed to be behind the smuggling of the hand grenades from Pakistan.

A delegation of the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on June 6 met Union Home Minister Amit Shah seeking the return of rare manuscripts and documents taken from the Sikh Reference Library at the Golden Temple complex by the Army during Operation Blue Star, reports The New Indian Express. The delegation sought the return of the documents to the Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC) on the anniversary of the army operation inside the temple complex to flush out Khalistani militants. SAD President Sukhbir Singh Badal sought return of antiques, artefacts and books allegedly taken away by the Army during the operation, pension to those from the Sikh community who quit the Army in protest, and permission for a religious procession to Pakistan on the occasion of Guru Nanak’s 550th birth anniversary, adds the Indian Express. There were chaotic scenes on the 35thanniversary of Operation Blue Star, as the task force of the Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC) got into an altercation with Sikh ‘hardliners’ at the Golden Temple complex in Amritsar on June 6, reports The New Indian Express. Turbans were tossed and swords were flashed as unseemly scenes played out in full public view on a day of commemoration. As soon as the Akal Takht Jathedar (highest temporal seat of the Sikhs), Harpreet Singh, finished his address and a kirtan started playing, the hardliners grew restive and disruptions followed. Pro-Khalistan supporters, chanting slogans and sporting T-shirts emblazoned with the image of killed militant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, tried to force their way into the area around the Akal Takht. Several radicals wearing t-shirts with photo of militant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale raised anti-India slogans and tried to break into the Akal Takht area. This led to a scuffle between the radicals and the SGPC’s task force and the police present in mufti. The incident happened approximately 100 feet away from the sanctum sanctorum.

Around 5,000 security personnel have been deployed across Amritsar ahead of the 35th anniversary of Operation Blue Star on June 6, reports Indian Express. Also, 500 Policemen would be present inside the Golden Temple during an event to observe the anniversary. Apart from coordinating security arrangements with the Police, theShiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC) will also be keeping a tab on the situation with the help of CCTV cameras.Parallel Sarbat Khalsa JathedarDhian Singh Mand is also expected to reach Akal Takht and read message to the community.

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.

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 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.

As per a dossier prepared by Indian intelligence agencies, Indian-origin Canadian Sikh leader Jagmeet Singh, the founder of New Democratic Party (NDP), provides shelter to pro-Khalistan activist groups in Canada which have their base in Pakistan, reports Times Now on October 25. Further, he had led several anti-India protests in the United States (US) following the present Indian government’s move to revoke special status of Jammu and Kashmir. Singh’s move to organise a conference of pro-Khalistan activists in Ontario, Canada in 2013 has surprised the Indian establishment, knowing that he was born to immigrant Indian parents. In 2015, when Singh was a Member of the Legislature of NDP, he made an appearance at a pro-Khalistan rally in San Francisco, US and supported Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, killed in Operation Blue Star. A year later, he supported the use of violence as a legitimate means of resistance to achieve Khalistan. His proximity to sympathisers of Talwinder Singh Parmar, the alleged mastermind of Kanishka (Air India) bombing, has also been a point of debate in Canada. Parmar was the leader of the Babbar Khalsa International (BKI).
