Recently there have been the news that the Khalistan commando force chief Paramjit Panjwar gunned down in Lahore. Designated terrorist and Khalistan Commando Force (KCF) chief Paramjit Singh Panjwar alias Malik Sardar Singh was gunned down by two unidentified gunmen in Johar Town, Lahore. There are some who argues about the identity of Khalistan Commando Force (KCF). Khalistan Commando force (KCF) is a Sikh Khalistan terrorist organization operating in the state of Punjab with prominent members based in Canada, United Kingdom and Pakistan. Its objective is the creation of a Sikh independent state of Khalistan through armed struggle. KCF is also responsible for many assassinations in India, including the 1995 assassination of Punjab Chief Minister Beant Singh. KCF has been active in many illegal activities, it has also been active in conspiracy, smuggling, terrorism and murder. It has smuggled many drugs and weapons to India for their revolt. KCF as well as Sikh for Justice and other related groups have deep connections with Pakistan.
Paramjit Panjwar was involved in drug and weapon smuggling through drones into Indian Punjab, Paramjit was born in Panjwar village near Taran Taran. Despite denials by the Pakistan government, Panjwar was staying in Lahore while his wife and children relocated to Germany. About who killed him is still unknown but many predict that he may have been killed by some rival gang members as he was involved in Drugs and weapon smuggling. Some Indian Army Officials says that it was the ISI of Pakistan that have killed him and are targeting the Khalistani groups as they could become the liability of Pakistan too. But after this incident its certain that the Khalistani leaders staying in Pakistan will seek refuge in other country like Afghanistan as they fear they may the next target. This assassination impact would be seen in whole of Khalistani Movement and groups.
Pakistan: Safe Haven for Terrorists
Every year, India releases a list of terrorists under UAPA and in this list, Pramjit Panjwar, the chief of KCF has been ranked 8thwanted for terrorism, conspiracy, smuggling and murder. This list includes terrorists such as Masood Azhar, Dawood Ibrahim and Bhupinder Singh Bhinta. All of these terrorists now live in Pakistan, giving them a safe haven for their terrorist activities. Pakistan is at the heart of these terrorist groups, the birthplace of all these organizations. Pakistan government even knowing about these terror outfits, does not take actions against these Terror groups, instead allow them to recruit more members as well as function properly. Recently, in the SCO summit held in India, Pakistan Foreign Minister Bhutto was brutally trolled by S. Jaishankar for bringing Kashmir issue in an international meeting. At the end of the meeting Bilawal Bhutto threatened India that they would give an ‘unforgettable response’ regarding G20 meeting in Kashmir.
Now all that can be done is that wait and watch what that response would be. However, the assassination of Khalistan’s commando chief scared the other groups into hiding. This will have a huge positive impact on India’s fight against these organizations.
