The Khalistani organisation Sikh For Justice (SFJ) is facing a total of over 104 cases—96 filed by states/UTs police and eight filed by the National Investigation Agency (NIA). According to News18, the Government of India has revealed shocking details about the unlawful activities of the SFJ. The Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Tribunal has upheld the ban on the SFJ imposed by the Government of India.

According to the News18 report, the centre has said that the Khalistani organisation led by Gurpatwant Singh Pannun is spreading anti-India propaganda by organising protests and pro-Khalistan rallies against the Indian dignitaries. The SFJ has also filed court cases against Indian dignitaries in Europe, Canada, the USA, and the other countries.

According to the order by the government, Pannun has raised substantial funds for the commission of terrorist acts and the assassination of the important leaders, figures, and the government officials to intimidate the government and also the Indian public.

“Pannun is reported to have raised substantial funds for the commission of terrorist acts and the assassination of important leaders, public figures, and government officials to intimidate the government and the Indian public at large. He intends to use these funds for terrorist activities with the ultimate objective of creating Khalistan," the order stated.

“The SFJ has also claimed to have prepared a list of children of police officers and politicians studying in foreign countries to take revenge if its activists are tortured," the government informed the tribunal.

According to the order, a pre-recorded voice message was received at the landline of Defence Minister Rajnath Singh’s residence. According to a News18 report, the government stated that the message was sent by Pannun to warn members of Parliament.

Earlier in July, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) extended the ban on SFJ, which was upheld by the tribunal led by Justice Anoop Kumar Mendiratta.

According to News18, among the total 104 cases against SFJ, 96 are registered by state/UT police and eight by the NIA.  Among the cases, 55 have been filed by the Punjab Police, 13 cases each by the Haryana Police and Delhi Police, six cases by the Himachal Pradesh Police, three cases by the Assam Police, two cases by the Gujarat Police, and one case each by the Jharkhand, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, and Chandigarh Police.
