Caution Advised for Air India Passengers: Khalistani Terrorist Pannun Issues Fresh Threat

Khalistani Terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun Issues Alarming Warning for Air India Passengers Amidst Rising Bomb Threats from November 1-19

Tensions over aviation security in India are growing to record heights, as Khalistani-terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun threatened passengers who are to travel with Air India between November 1 and November 19. His threat came at a time coinciding with the 40th-anniversary of the ‘Sikh Genocide,’ which raised alarms for a potential attack on Air India flights in these sensitive periods.

Reports revealed that the message from Khalistani-terrorist Pannun was at a time when bomb threats had been going to different airlines and airports in the country. Within the past week, Indian air carriers have received more than 90 bomb threats, and 25 of them happened within one day. This pattern has seen security agencies and government agencies become more on their toes. The threat from the Ministry of Civil Aviation is said to be that most of such threats are probably from children or pranksters operating from overseas, but the regularity and the content of the messages are not good.

Khalistani-terrorist Pannun’s threat is meanwhile starkly reminiscent of the ones he had issued one year back. The militant had, in November last year itself, declared that Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International (IGI) airport would be renamed and went to the extent of declaring it will close down on November 19. His appeal to avoid Air India flights on the day has made a comeback with authorities reviewing security arrangements based on the new threats.

The NIA has also framed Khalistani-terrorist Pannun under multiple sections of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act 1967, such as criminal conspiracy. His persistent voice in the debate about air security has set significant concerns before authorities in charge of the safety of passengers.

All domestic carriers-Air India, IndiGo, and Akasa Air-have released statements post the bomb threats assuring passengers that their safety is in tow. The BCAS also revealed that they met with representatives of airlines to discuss measures on prevention of hoax threats including, but not limited to, placing them on no-fly list if found guilty in a court of law.

As the events unfold, MHA has sought detailed reports on bomb threats against air travel. That the government is becoming more serious on threats against air travel by the security agencies once it feels that it has to keep the passengers safe is noted.

Whether a traveler is going out by flying in November, they should take cognizance of the developments and consider the impact of Pannun’s threats. As security measures are reinforced, the passengers must be vigilant about such activities and report it to the authorities.
