Hardeep Singh Nijjar: who is he?
1)Nijjar, a member of the outlawed indian separatist organisation Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), was 'Number 2' after Gurpatwant Singh Pannun. According to punjab Police files, he was born in the village of Bharsingh Pura in jalandhar and immigrated to canada in 1996. 2) He started out as a plumber in canada, but over the past few years, as a result of his involvement in pro-Khalistan activities, his wealth has suddenly increased. Nijjar's membership in Jagtar Singh Tara's Babbar Khalsa international marked the beginning of his involvement in terrorism. He then started his own organisation, the Khalistan tiger Force (KTF). Over 10 FIRs have been filed against him as a result of his significant involvement in finding, connecting, funding, and supporting Khalistani cells in India.
