Ashok Shrivastav on X: "पंजाब में आम आदमी पार्टी की सरकार ने किसानों की फसल की कम खरीद की, हरियाणा से बेहद कम। लेकिन आंदोलनकारी किसान नेता भाजपा सरकार के खिलाफ मुहीम चलाते रहे लेकिन भगवंत मान के खिलाफ कभी आंदोलन नहीं किया। जब #DoTook में गुरनाम सिंह चढूनी से यह सवाल पूछा तो पंजाब की नाकामी का ठीकरा भी https://t.co/HtkMHUC00y" / X (twitter.com)

  Brahma Chellaney on X: "There are 160,000 Sikhs living in Brampton, a suburban town in the Greater Toronto Area. There's a strong presence there of Khalistanis, who have publicly glorified Indira Gandhi's assassination. So the jihadist defacing of Ranjit Singh's statue seems odd. https://t.co/de89smvmAr" / X (twitter.com)

Daniel Bordman on X: "Jihadists in Brampton, Canada attack and deface a statue of Ranjit Singh.

Brahma Chellaney on X: "Reuters: "Ahead of Biden-Modi meeting, senior White House and U.S. intelligence officials meet Sikh activists." Biden administration has been seeking to leverage the Sikh militancy card against India. The sketchy intelligence it shared led to Canada's diplomatic spat with India." / X (twitter.com)

Held inside the White House complex on Thursday, the meeting was attended by Pritpal Singh of the American Sikh Caucus Committee and representatives from the Sikh Coalition and Sikh American Legal Defence and Education Fund (SALDEF).

“Through this bill, Congress sends a strong message to both allies and adversaries that violating the constitutional rights of Americans will not be tolerated,” SALDEF said.

"Earlier this week, Khalistani separatist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun filed a civil lawsuit against the Government of India and National Security Advisor Ajit Doval after which the US District Court for the Southern District of New York issued summons in the case.

The lawsuit has been filed against the Government of India and Doval and Nikhil Gupta, who has been charged by federal prosecutors in an indictment unsealed in November last year with working with an Indian government employee in the foiled plot to kill Pannun.

Pannun holds dual US and Canadian citizenship, on American soil."
