Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, leader of the proscribed SFJ, issued threats shortly after his associate, Khalistani separatist Inderjeet Singh Gosal, was granted bail in Canada. Pannun, in a video message, targeted India’s National Security Adviser Ajit Doval. He challenged Doval to travel to Canada, the United States, or any European country and attempt to arrest or extradite him. Gosal, in the same video, expressed support for Pannun and announced plans to organize the Khalistan referendum on November 23, 2025, stating “Delhi banega Khalistan.” Gosal was released from the Ontario Central East Correctional Centre after a week. Canadian authorities previously arrested Gosal on firearms charges. He is affiliated with Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Khalistani terrorist killed in British Columbia in June 2023. Nijjar’s killing caused a diplomatic dispute between India and Canada. Pannun, head of the SFJ, was declared a “individual terrorist” by India’s Ministry of Home Affairs in July 2020. Amid these events, Canada’s new leadership, under Prime Minister Mark Carney, has been attempting to improve relations with India. Recent discussions occurred between National Security Advisors Ajit Doval and his Canadian counterpart, Nathalie Drouin, in New Delhi.
