In a recent interview with a Pakistani propaganda YouTube channel, Pannun asserted that Sikh soldiers and officers of the indian Armed Forces, in addition to the people of Punjab, are with pakistan at his request, utterly unaware that India's Chief of the air Staff, air Chief Marshal amar Preet Singh, is Sikh himself.
Pannun claimed that Sikhs would support pakistan and asserted that the current situation is different from that of 1965 and 1971. "This is 2025," he said and asserted that Sikhs would stand with pakistan like a brick wall. He emphasized that Sikhs would not allow indian forces to attack pakistan through Punjab. However, this would be possible, according to him, only if pakistan openly supported the cause of Khalistan, a separate Sikh nation.
According to Pannun, 20 million indian Sikhs will serve langar to Pakistani troops and stand "like a brick wall" beside pakistan against india in a future conflict. He presented pakistan, which has a shameful history of brutally persecuting Sikh minorities on its soil for merely existing, as a "friendly" neighbor to a fictionalized Khalistan in his speech, which was laced with anti-Indian hatred and detached from reality.
However, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun says nothing when pakistan, which poses as pro-Khalistan in order to further divide and widen religious rifts, targets the golden temple in amritsar, the Sikhs' holiest site, to express its annoyance at India's anti-terror strikes under Operation Sindoor. Even when the wreckage from intercepted missiles was discovered close to the golden temple, the Khalistan daydreamer did not release a statement or make a video denouncing Pakistan's bold attempt to attack the temple. Instead, they were constantly harping and spewing vitriol against India.
On May 8, Pakistani forces launched a targeted attack on the Sikh population in Poonch, Jammu & Kashmir. Pakistan severely shelled the Gurudwara Singh Sabha Poonch, damaging its wall. In addition, Pakistani forces' barbaric attack on indian civilians claimed the lives of four Sikhs. When a shell exploded close to Amreek Singh and Ranjit Singh, two local shopkeepers, a homemaker named Ruby Kaur, and a former army official and pious Granthi Amarjeet Singh, they were all instantly killed.
Another victim, Amreek Singh, was a Raagi who sang songs from the Guru Granth Sahib at another gurdwara in Poonch, while Amarjeet Singh used to play the tabla at the Gurudwara. Both of them were murdered at different locations in Pakistani shelling.
"It was such a fate that not only Amarjeet Singh but also Amreek Singh died in the shelling today," said Narinder Singh of the district Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee, Poonch, who expressed astonishment and anguish over Pakistan's slaughter of innocent Sikhs. They served as the community's part-time preachers. In Poonch, we have never seen shelling this intense. Civilian establishments were mainly unaffected by the Kargil War. We believed that we had adapted to shelling. That delusion was dispelled now. The gurdwara has only minor damage, but the shock is enormous.
The indian air Defence System thwarted Pakistani forces' attempts to launch a targeted drone strike on the holy city of amritsar on May 8. A total darkness was imposed in amritsar during the nighttime attack. In the amritsar border village of Makhan Windi, missile debris was discovered. Similar missile debris was discovered in Punjab, close to Jethuwal and Pandher.
On May 9, holy saroops of Sri Guru Granth Sahib were transported from the Singh Sabha Gurdwara in Havelian hamlet to the Gurdwara Ramsar Sahib in amritsar amid the heightened tensions between india and Pakistan.
