Gurpatwant Singh Pannu also spell as Pannun is a US-based individual terrorist, founder and self-styled chief of the banned pro-Khalistan outfit Sikhs for Justice. On July 1, 2020, he was declared as an "individual terrorist"[2] under the UAPA for promoting secessionism and allegedly encouraging Punjabi Sikh youth to take up arms.[3] In October 2020, just a week before the death anniversary of former prime minister Indira Gandhi, Pannu released a video message through his TV channel urging Indian students to raise pro-Khalistan slogans and hoisting the Khalistan flag in return for iPhone 12 Mini with pre-installed Punjab Referendum apps and VPN to safely connect with SFJ’s Voter Registration database circumventing the Ministry of Home Affairs’ ban.
The organization earlier issued a cash reward up to $500,000 just before India’s Independence Day if someone hoisted the Khalistan flag from the Red Fort and small cash rewards of up to ₹50,000 were also offered if Khalistan sympathisers managed to hoist Khalistani flags at administration blocks in Punjab, with money being transferred via Western Union Money Transfer facility.[4]
