Controversial Khalistan Supporter Puts Up Inflammatory Poster Ahead of Indo-Canadian Event

Gurpatwant Singh Pannun put out a poster targeting Indian High Commissioner to Canada Sanjay Kumar Verma ahead of a networking event. The poster had a violent tone.

Pannun has previously courted controversy for his pro-Khalistan views, including calling for sabotage against Air India.

The networking event organizers are trying to bring together all sections of the Indo-Canadian community despite Pannun's posters.

The incident follows the murder of pro-Khalistan figure Hardeep Singh Nijjar in June 2023, which led to diplomatic tensions between India and Canada.

In a separate case, Nikhil Gupta was arrested for allegedly trying to kill Pannun based on a request from American authorities.
