Sikh militancy rearing its head again: Intelligence alerts Modi Govt

New Delhi, June 17: Days after Sikh groups commemorated the 30th anniversary of Operation Blue Star, the Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW) in its recent report has warned the Centre that several anti-India organisations are trying to revive Sikh militancy by giving support to separatist Khalistani movement.

As per a report published in India Today, the intelligence report shared with the PMO and the Home Ministry said groups in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Malaysia, USA and Pakistan commemorated the 30th anniversary of Operation Blue Star at the Golden Temple in Amritsar in 1984.

Various groups also staged protests on June 6, Operation Blue Star anniversary, in these countries. According to the report, anti-India speeches were also made by some leaders at these demonstrations.

OneIndia had earlier reported that the ISI funding the Punjab militant groups has been in the news for sometime. An intelligence bureau input revealed on June 8 that the ISI was ready to take into its fold 22 youth from Punjab and train them to launch terror strikes in India. For the ISI the biggest trump card are the Punjab militants. Since the days of their networks in Punjab being busted by KPS Gill, these persons have taken shelter in Pakistan.

There are four groups from Punjab who are itching to launch strikes in Punjab and revive militancy. The ISI has advised these militants to make Malaysia their home for now. Malaysia which houses terror modules of various other ISI sponsored groups will oversee the launch of the Punjab militants.
