CHANDIGARH: Gajinder Singh, a Khalistani terrorist accused in the 1981 hijacking of an Indian Airlines plane, has revealed that he is currently staying in Pakistan. On September 5, he posted a photo on Facebook which shows him sitting in front of Gurdwara Panja Sahib in Hasan Abdal. This completely exposes Islamabad’s lies that he is not being sheltered in Pakistan.
India has been demanding for a long time the deportation of the terrorist who was also the co-founder of the extremist Dal Khalsa outfit. Based on intelligence reports he was put on the list of “most wanted,” in 2002, as he was active in raising funds and procuring arms for Khalistani terrorists.
Khalistanis in order to provoke religious sentiments always deliberately operate from Gurdwaras. The posting of his profile picture with the holy Panja Sahib Gurdwara which is linked to Guru Nanak Dev, in the background is meant to convey his “pious” self to the masses.
Gajinder has also in a mischievous post on his Facebook page lso asked Indian cricketer Arshdeep Singh to openly proclaim that he is a Khalistani.
Gajinder in his posts on September 5, has also tried to mislead other Indian Sikh sportspersons, especially Arshdeep Singh saying that “Hindu nationalists” were trolling the Sikh cricketer for having dropped a catch in the Asian Cup championship match with Pakistan which India lost.
He claimed that Arshdeep was not only called a Khalistani by the trollers but even a traitor. This, according to him, made it clear that the creation of a separate country for the Sikhs was absolutely necessary. “If today you don’t say that you are a Khalistani, you will say it tomorrow,” he tells Arshdeep.
This further confirms Pakistan’s hand in the trolling of Arshdeep. The vilification campaign against Arshdeep originated in Pakistan, and India-haters like Mohammad Zubair of Alt News fanned it.
Gajinder Singh along with his 5 accomplices had hijacked the Delhi-Amritsar flight of Indian Airlines carrying 111 passengers to Lahore on September 29, 1981. The hijackers carrying hand grenades and daggers demanded the creation of Khalistan and the release of controversial Sikh leader Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale. They also wanted to be paid US $5,00,000 in cash.
All of them were arrested and put to trial and sentenced to life imprisonment in accordance with Pakistani laws. However, the hijackers were released in 1994. Gajinder attempted to enter Germany after his release but the alert Indian agencies informed German officials in advance and he was sent back to Pakistan from the airport.
