Intelligence on high alert, Union Govt ask Punjab to be wary of pro-Khalistan movement Union Government has asked the state to be wary of any effort for the resurgence of the pro-Khalistan movement. The Union Government has asked Captain Amarinder Singh led Punjab to be wary of any effort for the resurgence of the pro-Khalistan movement. The Centre’s warning was reportedly conveyed to Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh during his meeting with Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh. Intelligence agencies have been on high alert in Punjab after the London declaration by the Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) for Referendum 2020 was held last month. Over the past few months, the Punjab Police have busted terror modules in the state, linked with organisers of the referendum, under an ISI operation code, named “Express”. Though officially the state government maintained that they discussed various security-related issues and asked the Home Minister to address the concerns regarding Punjab’s internal security issues, sources say that the Centre expressed “serious concerns” over the efforts by the Pakistan’s ISI to revive the secessionist movement in Punjab. The Akali Dal has also been raising the issue of radical Sikh leaders staging a dharna at Behbal Kalan, who, it claimed, were receiving funds from abroad. Sources say there have been reports regarding call records of these leaders with radical Sikhs based in Germany, Canada, the US and the UK, which has also set the alarm bells ringing. -PTC News-
