India Confiscates Properties of Sikh Separatist Leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannun After Controversial TV Interview

Indian authorities confiscated properties of prominent Sikh separatist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, who is wanted on terrorism charges.
Pannun is the founder of Sikhs For Justice group and was an associate of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, whose killing sparked a diplomatic row between India and Canada.
Pannun blamed India for Nijjar's killing and told Canadian Hindus to "go back to India" amid the diplomatic spat between the countries.
The confiscation came after Pannun's interview on Indian TV, which the government asked networks to refrain from airing.
Pannun is accused of inciting violence for an independent Sikh homeland called Khalistan, a separatist movement crushed in the 1980s but still advocated by some Sikh diaspora.
