Khalistani flags were found in the Himachal Pradesh Assembly on Sunday morning. Now taking action on this matter, Himachal Pradesh Police has registered a case under several sections including UAPA. Gurpatwant Singh Pannu, the head of Khalistani organization Sikhs for Justice, has been made the main accused in this case. The police has issued a statement saying that along with registering the case, vigilance has also been increased. The borders of the state have been sealed and the movement of people is being monitored. Apart from this, ADGP, CID, IG, DIG and SP of all districts have been asked to be vigilant.
Not only this, surveillance has been increased in those areas where suspects related to Khalistan can be found. Earlier on Sunday, Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur had challenged the Khalistanis and said that if they have the courage, instead of raising flags in the dark of night, they should come out in broad daylight. Not only this, he said that these flags have been installed in the assembly located in Dharamsala, where the session is held only in winter. So there is no tight security there all the time. Taking advantage of this, Khalistan supporters have done this act.
Jai Ram Thakur said, ‘will investigate CCTV cameras’
Jai Ram Thakur had also spoken of taking strict action against those writing Khalistani flags and slogans. Thakur had said, ‘There were CCTV cameras installed there. We will try to nab those who have carried out this act. I also appeal to the people of Himachal Pradesh to maintain peace. We will take strict action against the culprits. Apart from this, we will also review the security arrangements of our borders so that the entry of chaotic elements can be checked. It is worth noting that earlier a letter in the name of Gurpatwant Singh Pannu was also sent in the name of Himachal Pradesh CM. In this, there was a threat to hoist the Khalistani flag in Shimla.
