Pannun asks Punjab gangsters to join SFJ, 'stop' Mann from hoisting tricolour on January 26

Designated terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun on January 16 gave a veiled threat to Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and police chief Gaurav Yadav as he asked gangsters in the State to join the banned outfit Sikhs For Justice (SFJ) and stop top political leaders from attending next week’s Republic Day parade.

In an email sent to some journalists and two videos accessed by PTI, Pannun compared Mr. Mann with former Punjab Chief Minister Beant Singh, who was assassinated in a bomb blast on August 31, 1995. The blast, which claimed the lives of 17 others, was carried out by the banned terror group — Babbar Khalsa International.
