Amritpal Singh's Alleged Ties to ISI and SFJ Spark Internet Shutdown in Punjab
Amritpal Singh, the leader of Waris Punjab De, was trained by Pakistan's ISI in Georgia and has close links with Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), according to Indian counter-terrorism officials. Singh, who openly supports the creation of a separate Khalistan, is part of a conspiracy by Pakistan to revive militancy in Punjab, officials said. He was also running a drugs smuggling network in India with the help of ISI and creating a private militia in drug de-addiction centres of Punjab, where weapons procured from Pakistan were being stockpiled.
