Poetic Justice Foundation
Poetic Justice Foundation also known as PJF is a Canada-based pro-Khalistan outfit founded by MO Dhaliwal and Anita Lal in March 2020. Under its 'AskIndiaWhy' campaign, PFJ had created a toolkit which was shared by Greta Thunberg on her Twitter account in January 2021, titled 'Global Farmers Strike- First Wave'. In September 2020, the co-founder MO Dholiwal on his social media accounts declared himself as pro-Khalistani[1] and in October 2020, they organised a webinar programme named ‘Khalistan, a conversation on trauma, racism and sovereignty’ where Dhaliwal was a panelist. The program involved a discussion on the Sikh separatist movement.[2]
On February 4, Special Cell of Delhi Police registered a case against the creators of the ‘toolkit’ on farmer protests under serious sections including sedition, criminal conspiracy and promoting hatred among groups under Sections 124A, 120A and 153 A of the Indian Penal Code.[3]
On 13 February 2021, a team from the Delhi Police arrested climate change activist Disha Ravi for questioning from the jurisdiction of Soladevanahalli police station in Bengaluru for allegedly disseminating the social media toolkit, which was allegedly meant to create unrest in India under garb of supporting the 2020–2021 Indian farmers' protests.[4] She was sent to 5-day police custody.[5][6][7] The police have stated that the toolkit outlined plans that resembled violence that unfolded on 26 January 2021 in New Delhi during the tractor parade and that the investigation is linked to Poetic Justice Foundation.[6][8] "The call was to wage economic, social, cultural and regional war against India," Delhi Police Special Commissioner stated.[9]
On February 15, 2021, The Delhi police hold a press conference and claimed that evidence against Disha Ravi was extracted from her cellphone.[10]
