The Centre has adopted a two-pronged strategy targeting pro-Khalistan activists living abroad. Firstly, investigative agencies have been asked to identify properties in India belonging to such persons wanted by India. Secondly, the Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) cards that allow visa-free entry are being revoked for these activists and sympathizers. This comes after the NIA recently confiscated properties of 'designated individual terrorist' Gurpatwant Singh Pannu. Around two dozen pro-Khalistan activists based in countries like the US, UK, Canada and Australia have been identified so far. Their OCI cards are set to be cancelled to prevent visa-free entry into India.
