Gurpatwant Singh Pannun is a close ally of Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
NEW DELHI: India’s top investigation agency today confiscated the properties of a prominent Sikh separatist and close ally of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, whose killing has sparked a diplomatic row between India and Canada.
The group, which has been banned by India, has been a vocal advocate for the creation of an independent Sikh homeland called Khalistan. Pannun jumped into the raging row and issued a video telling Canadian Hindus to “go back to India”, claiming they had adopted a “jingoistic approach” by siding with New Delhi.
Sikhism is a minority religion originating in northern India that traces its roots back to the 15th century and drew influences from both Hinduism and Islam.
