Khalsa leader expresses solidarity with Pakistan

The leader of the Khalistan Movement, Gurpatwant Singh Pannu, has expressed solidarity with Pakistan, stating that 20 million Sikhs stood with Pakistan.

"We stand with the people of Pakistan like a brick wall. This is neither 1965 nor 1971—this is 2025. We will not let the Indian Army cross Punjab to attack Pakistan," Pannu said in a statement. The Khalsa leader said India had been oppressing minorities, especially Sikhs. He said Sikh leaders had also raised their voices against India's state-sponsored terrorism.

Pannu said the name Pakistan itself meant 'pure' and that India did not have the courage to attack it.
