India has raised concerns over threats issued by secessionist group Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) against Air India flights to and from Canada. SFJ's general-counsel Gurpatwant Pannun warned Sikhs in Punjabi not to fly Air India after November 19, citing danger to their lives. India's High Commissioner to Ottawa, Sanjay Kumar Verma, stated plans to address the threat with Canadian authorities, citing violations of the Chicago Convention. The incident echoes the tragic 1985 Air India flight 182 bombing by Khalistani terrorists, prompting India to seek enhanced security measures for its flights.
