Chandigarh, Feb 19: Just a day ahead of the Punjab election, the intelligence agencies have sounded a nationwide alert after Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, founder of the pro-Khalistan outfit Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), issued a video and called for a bandh.
Pannun has called for ‘Rail-Punjab Bandh’ on February 19 i.e today. The development comes at a time when the voting for Punjab's 117-member assembly is set to take place in a single phase on February 20.
In the video, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun has also asked his followers to install "Kesri Khalistan" flags at polling stations in Punjab and shout slogans of "Khalistan Zindabad" on the day of the election. Gurpatwant Singh Pannun has also termed the recent death of Punjabi actor Deep Sidhu as a “political murder”.
Pannun said Deep Sidhu was a “true follower” of Jarnail Singh Bhrindanwale and always supported the demand for a separate Khalistan. Meanwhile, the intelligence agencies have been asked to remain alert and take all necessary measures in the state during polls.
