Khalstani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun on November 4 released a video urging members of the Sikh community not to travel via Air India on November 19. He said there are plans in place to blow up Air India flights on Indira Gandhi’s birthday, the former prime minister, who was assassinated by Khalistani terrorists in 1984.
In the video clip, Pannun can be heard saying, “We are asking all Sikhs to avoid boarding Air India flights on November 19. On that day, there will be a global blockade, and Air India will not be allowed to fly anywhere across the world. Sikhs, you do not travel by Air India after 19th November. It can be life-threatening. This is my warning to the government of India.”
He has also warned that the Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi should remain closed on November 19.

Notably, the threats collide with the date of the final match of the ICC Cricket World Cup, which is scheduled to be held on November 19 at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad. Pannun has referred to the mega sporting event as the "World Terror Cup", alleging it serves as a platform to highlight atrocities perpetuated against Sikhs in India.
Asserting that he will continue with his separatist agenda, the khalistani terrorist said, “We are going to break the backbone of the Indian economic system and we are going to balkanize India."
