Khalistan Commando chief Paramjit Panjwar gunned down in Lahore

The assassination of Khalistan Commando Force (KCF) chief Paramjit Singh Panjwar in Lahore, Pakistan has once again brought the issue of Sikh separatism back into the spotlight. Panjwar, who was one of the most wanted terrorists in India, was reportedly shot dead by unidentified gunmen on May 6th, 2023.

The KCF was founded in 1986 with the objective of creating an independent Sikh state called Khalistan, which would be carved out of the Indian state of Punjab. The group carried out a number of high-profile attacks in India during the late 1980s and early 1990s, including the assassination of Punjab Chief Minister Beant Singh in 1995.

Panjwar was one of the key leaders of the KCF and had been on the run for more than two decades. He was believed to be operating from Pakistan, where he had reportedly been given shelter by the country’s intelligence agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).

The Indian government had been pressing Pakistan to hand over Panjwar and other Sikh separatist leaders for years, but Pakistan had always denied their presence on its soil. However, the killing of Panjwar in Lahore has raised questions about Pakistan’s role in supporting Sikh separatism.

The Indian government has condemned the killing and called for a thorough investigation into the matter. The Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi has also expressed his condolences to the family of Panjwar and stated that the Punjab Police would cooperate with any investigation that is conducted.

The killing of Panjwar has also led to fears of retaliation by Sikh separatists in India. The Indian security forces have been put on high alert in Punjab and other parts of the country. The government has also appealed to the people of Punjab to maintain peace and not to fall prey to the designs of anti-national elements.

In conclusion, the killing of Khalistan Commando Force chief Paramjit Singh Panjwar in Lahore has once again highlighted the issue of Sikh separatism and raised questions about Pakistan’s role in supporting the movement. The incident has also led to fears of retaliation by Sikh separatists in India, and the government has urged people to maintain peace and not to fall prey to anti-national elements. It remains to be seen how the situation will unfold in the coming days and weeks.
