Khalistani Separatist Leader Issues Warning to Air India Flights

Tensions between India and Canada have escalated once again as a prominent Sikh separatist leader, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, warned Sikhs not to travel on Air India flights on November 19, citing potential threats to their lives. Pannun, designated as an independent terrorist by the Indian government, claimed that New Delhi's Indira Gandhi International airport would be shut down on that day. Indian officials have stated that they will discuss the threat with Canadian authorities, while Pannun's video has not been verified for authenticity. This comes after a Canadian police probe into the murder of a Sikh separatist leader was allegedly damaged by a high-level Canadian official's public statement suggesting Indian involvement.
