New Delhi – Following Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s allegations against India regarding the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has undertaken a comprehensive crackdown on the Khalistani movement within India. In this context, notable disclosures have emerged in the agency’s recently filed chargesheet, wherein it is asserted that funds were illicitly transferred from India to the Khalistanis in Canada using the hawala route.
1. The chargesheet has listed 13 instances from 2019 to 2021 when amounts ranging from Rs 5 lakh to Rs 60 lakh were sent to Canada and Thailand using the hawala route.
2. The chargesheet reveals that these funds are being funnelled to Khalistanis in Canada, with Lawrence Bishnoi acting as a key conduit. Additionally, the document states that Bishnoi redirected these funds in collaboration with Lakhbir Singh Landa, a leader of the Khalistani organisation known as Babbar Khalsa International.
3. Funds amassed through activities such as extortion, illicit liquor sales, and arms smuggling were initially routed to two people – Goldy Brar, an accomplice of Lawrence Bishnoi, and Satbir Singh alias Sam. Subsequently, these funds were distributed to various organisations operating in Canada.
4. The NIA chargesheet has indicated that the funds distributed in Canada through the hawala route were invested by Khalistani movement leaders in film production and in events such as the ‘Canadian Premier League’.
5. The transactions to Canada mentioned in the NIA chargesheet include Rs 2 lakh monthly sent to Goldy Brar in 2021, two payments of Rs 20 lakh each in 2020 to Brar, Rs 50 lakh given to Sam in 2020, again Rs 60 lakh given to Brar and Sam in 2021 and then two more separate payments of Rs 40 lakh and Rs 20 lakh to Sam in 2021.
The NIA has prepared a list of 19 fugitive Khalistani terrorists after having seized the property of Gurpatwant Singh Pannu (Chief of the terrorist outfit ‘Sikhs For Justice’). These Khalistani terrorists have taken shelter in Britain, the US, Canada, Dubai, Pakistan and other countries. Now the property of all these terrorists will be seized under Section 33 (5) of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act.
Former Pentagon official criticises Canadian PM Trudeau for making baseless allegations against India
Washington (USA) – Michael Rubin, a former Pentagon official, has criticised Canadian PM Trudeau for making baseless allegations against India. He said, “Prime Minister Trudeau, I think, has made allegations in a manner which he hasn’t been able to back. There are 2 possibilities here. Either he was shooting from the hip, and he doesn’t have the evidence to support his accusations against the Indian Government. Or there is something there, in which case he needs to explain why his Government was sheltering a terrorist with blood on his hands”.
Rubin added, “There’s a much greater danger for Canada than India (in this whole dispute). If Canada wants to pick a fight (with India), frankly at this point, it is like an ant picking a fight against an elephant. The fact of the matter is India is the world’s largest Democracy. It’s far more important strategically, arguably than Canada is, especially as concern grows with regard to China and other matters in the Indian Ocean Basin and in the Pacific”.
