Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, leader of the secessionist group Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), is a terrorist, goon, and criminal supported by foreign agencies to defame India, top government sources told CNN-News18 on Friday.
Pannun is Pakistani ISI’s plant in the United States to create Khalistan and it suits American agencies also, they added.
