Punjab elections 2022: SFJ's Gurpantwant Pannu accuses Bhagwant Mann of circulating fake letters
Chandigarh: Only few days before the Punjab Assembly elections 2022, a fake letter was being circulated on social media claiming that Khalistan organisation Sikhs For Justice (SFJ) has extended its support to Bhagwant Mann, the Chief Ministerial face for the Aam Aadmi Party.
In the alleged letter, Gurpatwant Singh Pannu, founder and designated terrorist, urged people to vote for Aam Aadmi Party in the Punjab Assembly elections 2022 so that they can once again “hope to fulfil their target (to form Khalistan).” The letter also claimed SFJ had supported AAP in previous elections as well.

The letter, written in Punjabi, reads, “We, the members of Sikhs for Justice, announce full support for Bhagwant Mann of the Aam Aadmi Party for the Punjab elections 2022. These elections are crucial for Punjab and our group and if Aam Aadmi Party forms the government in Punjab, the hope of achieving our target (to form Khalistan) will rise again.”
It added, “Our group has supported Aam Aadmi Party in 2017, and we are supporting the party in these elections as well. We urge every one of you to give your support to Aam Aadmi Party."
Meanwhile, several people took to social media platforms thanking SFJ for extending support to the AAP. Soon after the video letter went viral, the SFJ chief Gurpatwant Singh Pannu released a video claiming that the letter was fake and that Sikhs For Justice has never extended its support to any of the political party.
In the video, Pannu said, “The letter being circulated in the name of SFJ is fake. It is being circulated by Bhagwant Mann and AAP. SFJ does not believe in the Indian Constitution or any political party. SFJ’s only goal is to separate Punjab from India and for that, we will do referendum voting soon." "Stay away from liar AAP. I am warning Bhagwant Mann and Arvind Kejriwal, anyone who comes from Delhi, be it Indira, Modi or Kejriwal, they will be opposed. I urge everyone to raise the Khalistan flag from every booth on election day,” he said.
