A day after Gurpatwant Singh Pannu, the US-based legal adviser of the banned pro-Khalistan organisation, Sikhs For Justice (SFJ) was declared a designated terrorist by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, the Punjab Police on July 2 registered two separate FIRs, in Amritsar and Kapurthala District, against him and his associates, including an active SFJ member, Joginder Singh Gujjar alias Goga, who reportedly came to India from Italy in February this year, reports The Tribune.
The first FIR is registered based on the complaint of Dalit Suraksha Sena (DSS) against Gurpatwant Pannu and his associates, at Police Station B/Division, Police Commissionerate Amritsar for burning the Indian Constitution and Indian national flag, and instigating others to do so too, which had hurt the sentiments of the entire Scheduled Caste (SC) community in the country. The second FIR, registered at Police Station Bhulath, Kapurthala District, is based on reliable inputs of entry of Joginder Singh Gujjar alias Goga in India in February 2020, a Police spokesperson said, adding that Pannu and his associates have been charged with seditious and secessionist activities in the case.
