Sikh terror outfits seeking volunteers from US, India: Report
IANS, Feb 22, 2010, 03.47pm IST

CHANDIGARH: Security around top leaders and vital installations in Punjab has been increased following intelligence reports of Pakistan-based Sikh separatist groups trying to recruit youth from the US and India to revive terrorism in the state.

Reports of a meeting between officials of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) chief Wadhawa Singh in December has raised concerns among security agencies in the state.

A top-secret intelligence communication from Punjab Police to security agencies last week states: "To execute this task, Wadhawa Singh is making efforts to mobilise volunteers from Punjab as also from the US, who could be made to travel to India via Malaysia or Singapore." IANS is in possession of the document.

Security agencies have been asked to take appropriate security measures to protect VIPs and important installations across the state.

The VIPs said to be in the target list of the terror outfits include Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal and Congress MP Ravneet Singh Bittu.

Bittu, who is the Punjab Youth Congress president, is the grandson of former state chief minister Beant Singh, who is credited with wiping out terrorism in the state in the early 1990s with 'super-cop' KPS Gill.

Beant Singh was assassinated by a human bomb here Aug 31, 1995.

The intelligence report says that Bittu is particularly being targeted by the Khalistan Zindabad Force (KZF).

Another intelligence report from Punjab Police has said terror groups could target shrines in Amritsar as well as the Nangal Dam and railway stations at Ropar, Ludhiana and Pathankot.

"We will not let any of these groups revive terrorism in the state," Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal said here.

"We are taking the intelligence inputs quite seriously. We do a day-to-day monitoring of things. Security is being stepped up as required," Jalandhar Inspector General of Police Sanjiv Kalra told IANS.

In the last two months, Punjab Police have found explosives, grenades and weapons outside vital installations at various places in the state.

Several kilograms of explosives were found Jan 19 outside an Indian Oil LPG bottling plant near Nabha town in Patiala district. Two grenades were found five days later outside an Indian Air Force (IAF) establishment at Zirakpur near Chandigarh.

A car laden with explosives was found last month outside the IAF station at Halwara in Ludhiana.

Two people were arrested in Patiala on Sunday. Eight kilograms of explosives and 40 gelatin sticks were recovered from their possession.

Though the terrorist-secessionist movement for Khalistan was comprehensively defeated in 1993, there remain a handful of terrorist outfits chiefly supported by Pakistan and some NRI Sikh groups who continue to propagate the ideology of Khalistan.

One of the most prominent among them is the BKI, among the oldest and most organised Khalistan terrorist groups. It is headed by Wadhawa Singh, who is reportedly hiding in Pakistan. Mehal Singh is the deputy chief of BKI. Both of them are among the 20 terrorists whom India wants Pakistan to extradite.

Revival of Khalistan movement alarms PM.

















A BID to revive the Khalistan movement in Punjab has grabbed the attention of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Congress chief Sonia Gandhi. The matter was brought to their notice by Punjab Congress leaders a few days ago.

Sources in the Prime Minister's Office said Singh discussed the matter with national security advisor M. K. Narayanan and the director general of police, Punjab. Singh also advised the police chief to nip the movement in the bud.

Blatant attempts to revive the separatist movement were noticed on the eve of parliamentary elections in May. Posters of slain separatist leader Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale were seen in many places and pro- Khalistan propaganda became more pronounced.

A huge cache of arms was also seized from Ludhiana.

" Those who were born around the Nineties have no memory of the bloody days of terrorism. But they are brainwashed and indoctrinated," said a Congressman from Punjab.

The Punjab Pradesh Congress ( PCC) was told to convene a meeting of senior party leaders to discuss ways to address the problem.

Party sources said it would be difficult for the criminals to revive militancy in the state without the connivance of outside agencies.

Some suspected the involvement of Pakistan's ISI and the Taliban.

Former Punjab Police chief KPS Gill, who played a key role in stamping out terrorism from Punjab, had recently acknowledged a definite attempt to revive terrorism in the state. " The ISI has been acting as vital link between certain Jihadi groups and the Babbar Khalsa International ( BKI)," he reportedly told journalists.

In August, at least three incidents, including a shootout involving a Babbar Khalsa activist, were reported. The state police also blamed militants for the recent killings of Rulda Singh of the Rashtriya Sikh Sangat ( RSS) and Lily Kumar of Mansa, a follower of the Dera Sacha Sauda. Police sources said Babbar Khalsa may have supplied arms for the killings.

Alarm over pro-Khalistan posters in Delhi:

New Delhi, Saturday, February 06, 2010: A sudden emergence of pro-Khalistan posters at the national capital’s famous Gurudwara Bangla Sahib caused an alarm on Saturday, with both the Congress as well as the BJP expressing concern.

The Delhi Police immediately removed the posters from the entrance wall of the gurudwara, following a complaint that the posters called for pro-Khalistan supporters to congregate at Gurudwara Fatehgarh Sahib in Punjab on February 12 – the birth anniversary of Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale who started the Khalistan movement demanding a separate independent nation.

Bhindranwale died in Operation Blue Star in 1984.

What raised eyebrows was a call in the posters for supporters to complete ‘the unfinished task’ – apparently the creation of a separate nation.

Sources said the posters were apparently put up at the behest of SAD (Amritsar) president Simranjit Singh Mann.

Reacting to the development, BJP’s Rajiv Pratap Rudy said it was a “matter of concern and that the Central government should take action again separatist powers” trying to raise their heads again.
