Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a U.S.-based pro-Khalistan activist, has backed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s statement on Sikhs in India, calling it "bold and historically accurate." Pannun, general counsel of Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), said Gandhi’s remarks about the “existential threat to Sikhs” justified SFJ’s Khalistan Referendum campaign. Gandhi’s statement was made during his address in Washington D.C., where he highlighted the RSS's alleged discrimination against certain communities. Pannun, wanted in India on terror charges, said the Congress leader’s comments align with SFJ’s call for a referendum on Punjab’s independence.
