A Wild DOG And A DEAD HORSE?
A senior American security official claimed that while some well-known separatist leaders worldwide “are involved in drugs, gun-running, crime syndicates, and have links to Region too,” Khalistan “has no floor support in Punjab today.”
Khalistan was referred to as “dead horse” by a recently retired senior American security official, but he insisted that you “act to pre-empt” because they are raising money abroad, educating people, and agitating for India’s department.
He warned that India “must be cautious” because problems are “boiling under the surface,” such as employment and widespread drug use in Punjab, India’s neighboring Pakistan.
Given how sensitive the situation is right now, both officers requested anonymity.
Although New Delhi claims to have constantly shared such evidence with international capitals, India has not publicly disclosed any current evidence of Sikh separatist involvement with international crime.
An extreme national security position is a key component of Modi’s planted strongman persona. It was based on actions like airstrikes against Pakistan, ending special privileges for the disputed Kashmir area, and focusing on left-wing activists who the government claims are connected to Maoist militants.
Links to drugs or murder were rejected by Kanwarpal Singh, social secretary of the Dal Khalsa group in Punjab that advocates for a split Khalistan. According to him, Modi’s administration wants to “defame, isolate, and remove” Sikh separatist officials.
He stated that the rule is to” visit the dog hungry and shot him.”
Other opponents of Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party ( BJP), which has been unable to gain political clout among Sikhs, charge it with exaggerating the Khalistan issue for political gain.
According to safety specialist Ajai Sahni, “it is taking advantage of whatever limited Khalistani element there is in the nation or the diaspora to mobilize the Hindu populace.”
According to Dal Khalsa’s Singh, the BJP is” taking punishment on the Hindu group” after the year-long 2021 plantation protests by primarily Muslim farmers and activists bruised it socially.
