When Khalistan actually blew up an Air India plane!

Gurpatwant Singh Pannu, head of the banned terrorist organization Sikh for Justice in India, has threatened to bomb an Air India flight. He has formally released a video saying that he will take revenge for the 1984 Sikh riots and for this he will bomb Air India planes. Now to say this could be the jackal rage of a terrorist. And this is also because whether Gurpatwant Singh Pannu gives threat or not, India’s security agencies are tight-lipped on this issue. A story in history indicates that this threat of Gurpatwant Singh Pannu should be taken a little seriously, because in history, Air India plane Kanishk was targeted by similar Khalistani terrorists, in which 329 people died in the bomb blast. Went.

After the killing of General Singh Bhindranwale in Operation Blue Star, it seemed that Khalistan would be eliminated from India and especially Punjab, but it did not happen. After the death of Bhindranwale and then the assassination of Indira Gandhi, another Khalistani organization Babbar Khalsa started fighting for Khalistan. Babbar Khalsa started emphasizing the demand for a separate Khalistan from Canada, Germany, Britain and parts of India. The leader of Babbar Khalsa in Canada was a Khalistani terrorist Talwinder Singh Parmar, who had escaped to Canada after killing policemen in India. He had announced that now Khalistan will start targeting Indian airplanes. About a year after this announcement, Khalistani terrorists targeted Air India’s plane Kanishka in Canada.

Air India flight number 182 Kanishka, which ran for Montreal-London-Delhi-Bombay, was bombed in Ireland on June 23, 1985. A total of 329 people aboard were killed. Of these, 268 people were from Canada, 27 were British and 24 were Indians. This blast was carried out by Khalistani terrorist Manjeet Singh. On June 22, 1985, he sent his luggage on a flight from Vancouver to Toronto. On June 23, luggage was shifted in Air India flight number 182 Kanishka from Toronto to India. That flight was to go from Toronto to India via London, but the flight could not even reach London. There was an explosion and the debris of the flight fell into the Atlantic Ocean. Before the 9/11 attacks in America, this terrorist attack was the world’s largest attack related to aviation.

On the same day i.e. on 22 June 1985, there was an explosion at Narita Airport in Tokyo, the capital of Japan, which was a luggage bomb and which was to be kept in an Air India flight. Two people carrying luggage were killed in this bomb blast. Babbar Khalsa was responsible for both these blasts, which was most active in Canada apart from India. So now Gurpatwant Singh Pannu, living in America, has also threatened like Talwinder Parmar that he will carry out blasts in Air India flights and hence he has said that people should not travel by Air India flights from November to 19th.

This is not the first time that Gurpatwant Singh Pannu has threatened. Last year too, on November 4, 2023, Pannu had released a video threatening to bomb Air India flights and said not to travel by Air India flight on November 19. He had also threatened to close Delhi’s International Airport on 19 November 2023, but his threat remained just a howl. This time also there is no substance in his threat, but an accident has happened in history so the security agencies are alert.
