According to the Indian Army, Punjab has become a natural and favourite target of Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence (ISI). On January 18, at a daylong civil-military liaison conference, the army reportedly cautioned the Punjab government against the nefarious designs of the ISI and has urged it to keep a close watch on the activities of ‘suspicious elements’. GOC-in-C, Western Command, Lt Gen Surjit Singh stated that there were ample indications of ISI's attempts to make inroads in border States like Punjab and J&K and he hoped that the State government was prepared to meet the threat.

On April 4, Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal said, "No one has approached me with regard to the surrender of Wassan Sing Zaffarwal. I am not aware of anything in this connection. I have just read in the newspapers that Zaffarwal wanted to surrender". It was reported that Wassan Singh Zaffarwal, Chief of the Khalistan Commando Force (Zaffarwal) [KCF (Z)], who was staying in Switzerland until recently, has come to India with the intention of surrendering before the Punjab police. Certain Akali leaders were reportedly helping him in this connection. The Zaffarwal issue has been in the news since the Majitha by-election when his name reportedly figured in connection with certain letters issued to support the Akali candidate. Meanwhile, All-India Shiromani Akali Dal President Gurcharan Singh Tohra said, on April 3, criminalisation of politics was proved from the manner in which former Panthic Committee member and chief of the Khalistan Commando Force Wassan Singh Zaffarwal was allegedly allowed by the Punjab Government to move freely in Chandigarh.

According to official sources, the interrogation of the arrested Khalistan Commando Force (KCF) chief Wassan Singh Zaffarwal has established that many more terrorists living abroad are prepared to return home if given a chance. He reportedly said the government should evolve a concrete policy to help militants return to the mainstream as they were disillusioned with the goal of Khalistan. In a dramatic volte-face Zaffarwal said Khalistan was no more his goal, and added, Punjab, as a part of India, " is our homeland".

The Babbar Khalsa International has dissolved its UK wing following the ban imposed by the British Government on 21 different terrorist organisations, including the International Sikh Youth Federation (ISYF).

He, however, said the outfit had submitted a memorandum to Jack Straw, British Home Secretary, for lifting the ban.

Speaking to newsmen at Baba Bakala on April 20, he revealed that they were under the complete control of Pakistani bosses who would tell them to write letters and issue directions to terrorists operating in the field (Indian Punjab). He added that their operations were mainly funded through sources in Europe and North America which were routed through traders based in Lahore and Sialkot, Pakistan.

All India Sikh Students Federation (AISSF) President Manjit Singh Bhoma, on April 21, demanded that Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal should announce general amnesty for all those terrorists who had migrated to western countries during the decade-long terrorism in the State. He said these terrorists should be allotted Siromani Akali Dal (SAD)(Badal) tickets in the ensuing State Legislative Assembly elections so that they could raise their genuine demands in the State Assembly in a democratic way, instead of taking to the gun culture.

After the arrest of the Khalistan Commando Force (KCF) chief Wassan Singh Zaffarwal, Punjab police are reportedly getting feelers from at least three other dreaded terrorists, including Pakistan-based KCF chief (Panjwar) Parmajit Singh Panjwar, for their surrender. Though admitting that some terrorists settled abroad had sent feelers for their surrender, Punjab Director General of Police Sarabjit Singh refused to name them. However, the DGP said, "We may have some big names like Zaffarwal in our custody soon". He said Pakistan-based terrorists were totally shaken by Zaffarwal's arrest and were being pressured by the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) to step up subversive activities in northern parts of the country. Media reports quoting intelligence sources said Punjwar, who is wanted in several cases including killings, had recently escaped from Pakistan and made contacts with some senior Punjab police officials.

On May 5, Gurcharan Singh Tohra, former president of the Sikh Gurudwara Prabandkak Commiittee (SGPC) urged the government to announce general amnesty for all those who had been blacklisted for their role in the terrorism in Punjab during the eighties. Terming this as the need of the hour, Tohra said, ‘Those involved in the Khalistan movement are not the only ones wishing to return, but there are people who had fled the country out of fear of the police or some other reasons. Now that the separatist movement has died down, the Indian Government should initiate a move to heal the wounds’.

Punjab Chief Minister Prakash Singh Badal, while addressing a rally at Kotkapura, on June 13, said his government would never allow militancy to raise its ugly head in Punjab once again. He said it was the responsibility of everyone, especially of the media, not to glorify the deeds of terrorists as it was not in the interest of the country. When asked about the insecurity that had spread among the people following the granting of permission to terrorists to return to the State from their foreign-based hideouts, he said nobody would be allowed to indulge in violence.

Speaking to newsmen at Mohali in Punjab, on June 28, the separatist Sikh leader and Khalistan ideologue Jagjit Singh Chauhan said he would remain active for the cause of Khalistan. Chauhan, who returned to India after spending 21 years in exile in the United Kingdom, claimed that the undercurrents of the Khalistan movement were very strong there and in other western countries. He added that the urge for Khalistan manifests in the form of protests, conferences, rallies and demonstrations and also in the form of several pro-Khalistan magazines published in the UK. The Federation of Sikh Organisations, which serves as the platform for different organisations, continues to hold periodic meetings. Chauhan said he had been in touch with various pro-Khalistan groups and terrorist leaders such as the Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) and the International Sikh Youth federation (ISYF). But he denied having links with groups and terrorist leaders based in Pakistan. He also revealed that he had been in touch with Wassan Singh Zaffarwal after the latter left Pakistan. He said, "We have planned to come to India. Since Zaffarwal decided to follow the illegal route in order to return, he was able to make it much earlier."

Union Home Minister LK Advani, speaking in Jalandhar, on August 19, said there was no proposal to grant amnesty to Punjab terrorists settled abroad and permit them to enter the country. He said the Union government was exploring the scope for providing assistance within the framework of the law and the Indian Constitution to police officers facing trial in various courts for actions related to their fight against militancy. Applauding the role of the Punjab police and para-military forces in the State in wiping out militancy, Advani said they had contributed immensely in the war against militancy, which should not go unnoticed on such occasions.

Sikh separatist leader and Khalistan ideologue Jagjit Singh Chouhan would organise a State-level convention at Jalandhar on November 17 to create awareness among people regarding the formation of an independent sovereign state based on ‘Khalsa’ ideology. Chauhan has also floated a party called Khalsa Raj Patry (KRP). Addressing a press conference in Jalandhar, on October 5, Chouhan said, "The State will include whole of Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Punjabi-speaking areas of Rajasthan". He added, "We will organise a State-level convention of the party at Jalandhar on November 17 to highlight the misdeeds of the present Akali government and the need to form an independent model state". He alleged, "The Constitution of India had miserably failed to safeguard the interests of Punjab in the past 50 years. That is why the then Sikh leadership refused to accept the Constitution."
