ISI, Pannun trying to disrupt Red Fort I-day function

Intelligence inputs say the plan is to clog Delhi roads, but security agencies are prepared to counter that.

GHQ Rawalpindi friendly “Khalistan” elements from the United States and Canada, who have infiltrated the farmers’ protests happening on the borders of Delhi, are seeking to disrupt the 15 August Independence Day events, specific intelligence generated by the security agencies has warned.

Us-based Gurpatwant Singh Pannun and the Isibacked organization that he represents, “Sikhs for Justice”, have called upon their supporters to “clog” Delhi roads with tractors and ensure that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is unable to hoist the Tricolour at the Red Fort. It may be noted that the SFJ has been totally silent on the atrocities committed on the Sikh community in Pakistan, mistreatment that is continuing to the present to silence from G.S. Pannun.

Apart from this specific operation in Delhi, the Isibacked “Khalistan” organizations, of which Pannun is a part, have exhorted their supporters to ensure no flag hoisting happens in Punjab, Kashmir, West Bengal, Assam and Maharashtra.their plan, according to officials, is to create a law and order situation in and around the Red Fort area by converging in the region from different sides of Delhi on tractor.

An official said that if these elements are unable to gather tractors for the purpose, they will try to take control of public transport like buses and create a law and order situation in the heart of Delhi. This is intended so that PM Modi is unable to reach the designated place (Red Fort) to hoist the Tricolour.

Seven month ago, supporters of a Khalistani state, who embedded themselves among the protesting farmers, stormed the Red Fort on 26 January and hoisted a religious flag from the ramparts of the fort. Videos of the violence that surfaced later showed scores of policemen being assaulted with sticks and rods by the protesters. Interestingly, the international media seems to have shut their eyes to any such actions, backing the cause of those who seek to repeat the violence that was perpetrated on Punjab and in the country earlier in the name of “Khalistan”. This had happened on the day when the security cover in and around Delhi is the strictest.

The protesters, most of them unarmed, had broken through steel and cement barricades erected by the Delhi police to stop them from entering sensitive areas. Security agencies, having learnt lessons from the experience of 26 January, have devised new strategies to ensure that no untoward incident happens this time.
