#Leicester has been in special measures by the security services for years. PREVENT and @leicspolice teams are well aware of Leicester's unique role in European Islamist politics.
Gurpatwant Singh Pannun is a controversial figure. @TIME gave him a platform because he's a thorn in the side of #India.
I actually think the interview was good. It made the Khalistan movement look like a bunch of crazy folk in the diaspora with little to no support in India.
When confronted on his threat to Air India. He folded.
Transnational repression is a buzzword in international relations, IHL and HRL.
There is no concrete evidence that India was directly involved in plots. But the fact pattern is being fluffed out. Alarm bells ringing as a result.
"I will never incite the people of Punjab who are working with me to go and take violence as the path. Because that is exactly what I'm fighting. We are fighting India’s violence with votes." We all know that's a lie.
"Though the movement has little support in India today—in the latest state election, the only remaining pro-Khalistan party secured less than 3% of the vote—the demand has persisted among the Sikh diaspora." @TIME
"Some experts say that within the Sikh community in India, and to some extent even the Sikh diaspora, there is less of an urgency for a separatist homeland compared to other issues like farmers’ protests, high debt, and drug addiction. Would you agree?"
Pannun answered, "No." Khalistanis don't speak for Sikhs in India. They are on their own warped path.
360 Security Technology (Qihoo 360) has been involved in helping Pakistan's cybersecurity according to sources. The Pakistani embassy in Beijing recently came to an official agreement of consultation.
Has anyone researched Daniel O. Graham, a former Deputy Director of the CIA and Director of DIA, and his ties to Khalistan radicals, Chohan and Ganga Singh Dhillon in the 70s-80s in DC?
Spook historians have claimed US support for Sikh radicals were part of KGB active measures.
It's not surprising because Bush Snr and Reagan wanted to use religion to fight communism.
They used right-wing Christians in Rome and Latin America. Sikhs to cause unrest in socialist India wouldn't have been a stretch.
I did protest William Gomes demand for Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh figures to get a Nobel Peace Prize. But that was decades ago. Jamaat got war crimes tribunals instead.
