LONDON: The Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) leader and India’s most wanted man Gurpatwant Singh Pannun was also the target of a failed Indian assassination plot in Canada at a Sikh wedding.
The US goverment revealed a few months ago that it had foiled a high-profile assassination plot of the Indian government against Mr Pannun in New York last year – around the time Pannun’s friend and SFJ Canada leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar was killed – but it was not known till now that the Indian govt planned to assassinate Pannun at a wedding in Canada where Pannun was widely rumoured to be in attendance.
Sikh insiders expected US-Canadian citizen Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, considered one of India’s top-priority targets, to attend the wedding due to his close friendship with the groom’s father and longtime Khalistani activist Santokh Singh Khela.
