The Government of India has set up a tribunal to adjudicate whether or not there is sufficient reason to impose a ban on pro-Khalistan group Sikhs For Justice (SFJ), which was declared as an unlawful organisation last month, reports Daily Excelsior on August 9. The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA), while imposing the ban, had said the group’s primary objective is to establish an “independent and sovereign country” in Punjab and it openly espouses the cause of Khalistan and in that process, challenges the sovereignty and territorial integrity of India. “Now, therefore, in exercise of the powers conferred by sub-section (1) of section 5 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967 (37 of 1967), the central government hereby constitutes an Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Tribunal, consisting of Mr Justice D N Patel, Chief Justice, High Court of Delhi, for the purpose of adjudicating whether or not there is sufficient cause of declaring the Sikhs For Justice (SFJ) as an unlawful association,” a notification issued by the UMHA said.

According to an official statement on August 11, Punjab Chief Minister (CM) Amarinder Singh expressed concern over reports of slowdown in activities of discernible showdown by Pakistan to develop Kartarpur corridor, reports New Indian Express. The CM urged Pakistan not to back out of their commitment. The CM also urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to announce a special economic package for the development of the border states of Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir to create better job opportunities. Additionally, according to Government officials, Pakistan’s enthusiasm over Kartarpur corridor will depend on the unfolding situation in Kashmir once the restrictions are relaxed, reports The Tribune on August 11. While not commenting on reports that Pakistan had slowed down work on the corridor, they referred to influential voices in its establishment, such as those of former Foreign Secretary Abdul Basit, calling for work to be suspended in light of India’s Jammu and Kashmir moves. The Indian establishment has viewed the Kartarpur Corridor with a tinge of suspicion. There have been recurring concerns after the seizures of explosives and arms in Punjab and Haryana that Pakistan is attempting to destabilise Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab.

The tribunal set up by the Government of India (GoI) to adjudicate ban on Sikhs For Justice (SFJ) issued a show-cause notice to the pro-Khalistan group, an official spokesperson said on August 24, reports Hindustan Times. He said that a notice has been issued to SFJ as to why the association declared unlawful, be not adjudicated to be so and why the order confirming the declaration be not made. The association has been given 30 days to respond from the date of service of the notice. The objections, reply or affidavits may be filed before the next date of hearing. Earlier on July 10, the GoI imposed a ban on SFJ by declaring it as an unlawful organisation. The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) had said the group’s primary objective is to establish an “independent and sovereign country” in Punjab and it openly espouses the cause of Khalistan and in that process, challenges the sovereignty and territorial integrity of India.

According to sources, Pakistan is now trying to incite the Sikh community living in Pakistan and elsewhere against India, reports India Today on August 26. A Pakistan-based Sikh leader was heard claiming in a viral video on social media that they have got a mandate from Akal Takht, the highest Sikh temporal authority in India, to support Pakistan on the Kashmir issue. Though no such resolution has been passed by the Akal Takht, such provocative statements are being issued to radicalise, confuse and deviate the Sikh community. In another attempt to woo the Sikh community, Pakistan's Punjab Province chief minister Sardar Usman Buzdar has called an international congregation of Sikhs on August 31. This congregation is being linked to the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev but the motive behind it is to perpetuate and launch an anti-India propaganda. Pakistan Government has also announced another Sikh congregation at Nankana Sahib but the dates are yet to be announced.

Pro-Khalistan leader and former secretary of the Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (PSGPC) Gopal Singh Chawla, who is also a close aide of Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) ‘chief’ Hafiz Saeed, is not only a Khalistani leader but also an informer and recruiter for Pakistan's spy agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), reports India Today on August 29. Pakistan spy Harpal Singh Pala, a former IAF official's son who was arrested in Jalandhar on August 25, revealed during interrogation that it was Gopal Singh Chawla who radicalised him and recruited him as an agent of the ISI's espionage network. Police officials said Harpal Singh Pala is the son of former IAF airman Bahadur Singh who hailed from Jalandhar. After his father died, the Pala's mother was employed as a cook by the IAF, who later retired and died. The family lived inside the Air Force Station. The accused spy was running a dairy at the nearby Bhatija village. Pala was impressed with Gopal Singh Chawla and had sent him a Facebook friend request. The two soon started chatting on Facebook and Chawla also share his mobile number. They started chatting on WhatsApp. Harpal Singh Pala told Police that when he told Chawla that his father was an airman, he asked him to get secret information from the Air Force station and was also promised adequate compensation. Interestingly, one day when internet services were down, Harpal Singh Pala made a mistake of calling Chawla on his mobile phone. As intelligence agencies had already put the mobile phones being used to call people in Pakistan under surveillance, Harpal Singh Pala's call was also traced and his activities came on the radar of security agencies.

Congress Party in Punjab on August 26 slammed BJP MP Subramaniam Swamy for raising apprehensions on the security of the Kartarpur corridor and claimed that there is no threat as Punjabis will act as the first line of defence, reports India Today. "The Punjabi community is the first line of defence on the Indo-Pak border, so all the apprehensions over the Kartarpur Sahib corridor are unfounded," Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee President Sunil Jakhar said. "There are fanatics on both sides of the border who don't want the corridor to complete, but history has presented the two nations with an opportunity to give justice to Sikh community denied for 70 years," Jakhar said. Reacting to former Pakistan Army Chief Mirza Aslam's statement that Kartarpur corridor could be exploited to fan Khalistani terror in Punjab, Sunil Jakhar said that people of Punjab have suffered long and paid a huge price for peace which cannot be undone now. "There have been repeated attempts like Pulwama to disturb the peace of the region, but despite the current low in the bilateral relations, be it because of the Balakot attack or tension over Article 370, work over the corridor is going on. We are hopeful that it will be opened soon," Sunil Jakhar said.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on August 30 filed a supplementary charge sheet against a member of Kashmir-based terror outfit, Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind in connection with Maqsudan Police Station grenade blasts case in Punjab, reports Business Standard. "The charge sheet has been filed in a Special NIA Court in Mohali against Amir Nazir Mir under relevant Sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) and Explosive Substances Act," an official statement said.
