Actually, many pro-Khalistan Sikhs who have no hostility or distrust Pakistan feel that Pakistan under B.Bhutto "betrayed" the Khalistani movement when in early 1990s she handed over Khalistani fighters to indian government.
One of the reasons the backbone of the movement was destroyed was because of Bhutto's action. They are more upset obviously over the way indian authorities stormed and destroyed the golden temple during Op Bluestar.
Pakistan didn't give moral backing to Khalistan merely because it wanted to divide hindustan; it also had to do with some common culture with Punjabi sardars and some commonalities with the East Punjab ---which IN THEORY could have helped facilitate a 'friendlier' state as a neighbour on eastern sector. I'm being very frank and forthcoming here.
is the issue dead? Well we dont hear too much about it in the media, save for the huge protests of Sikh diaspora overseas.......But I dont think in today's Pakistan the mission is to meddle in the internal affairs of hindustan; though we do have security interests and concerns given the hostile nature of our relationship with the neighbour country.
actually it is the indians who are meddling in the affairs of Pakistan but that's a whole other issue
