The Pakistan Army has targeted a Gurudwara in a deliberate attack in civilian areas in India after Operation Sindoor. The Sri Guru Singh Sabha Sahib in Poonch was the target of the shelling. Furthermore, at least 15 Indian civilians have lost their lives in the indiscriminate shelling of civilian areas.
Jathedar Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargajj of Sri Akal Takht Sahib has condemned the Pakistan Army’s deliberate targeting of Sikhs. A statement issued by the Secretariat of the Sri Akal Takht Sahib said, “Jathedar Gargajj stated that during Pakistan’s retaliatory shelling in Poonch—following India’s Operation Sindoor—the central Gurdwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha was hit. In this attack, three Gursikhs were killed – Bhai Amrik Singh (a raagi), Bhai Amarjeet Singh (a retired army soldier), and Bhai Ranjit Singh (a local shopkeeper).”
Khalistani Terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun on Pakistan Army
Gurapatwant Singh Pannun only a week earlier had asserted that Punjabis in India would serve ‘Langar’ to the Pakistan Army should war break out. Pannun is the head of the Khalistani Terrorist outfit Sikhs for Justice. “If India attacks Pakistan, then it will be the final war for India and Modi. The Punjabis on the Indian side would serve langar for the Pakistani army,” he had said.
Pannun had also urged Sikhs to refuse to fight against Pakistan. He said, ‘Now is the time to say no to Narendra Modi’s jingoistic war. Do not fight against Pakistan. Pakistan is not your enemy. Pakistan will be and is a friendly country for the Sikh people and for Khalistan. Once we liberate Punjab, Pakistan will be our neighbour.’
The Khalistan-Pakistan Nexus
Pakistan has used Khalistani Terrorism for decades to ‘bleed India by a thousand cuts’. During the peak years of Khalistan Separatist Movement in the 1980s and ’90s, the terrorists were trained and armed by Pakistan to wage war against India. Pakistan also provided these terrorists with a safe haven.
Despite their self-proclaimed allegiance to the Sikh community, Khalistanis have consistently sacrificed Sikhs to serve Pakistani interests. The Khalistanis ignore Pakistan’s systemic abuse and oppression of the Sikh Community while simultaneously accusing India of fictional crimes.
