 After terrorist Pannun of the Khalistani group threatens to blow up Air India, India will notify Ottawa

According to Gurpatwant Pannun, the Indira Gandhi Airport in Delhi would be closed on November 19.

Sikhs are being cautioned not to travel on Air India after November 19 because their "lives may be in danger" by Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) founder and proclaimed terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun.

In a recent video that was made public on Saturday, Pannun said that Air India will not be permitted to fly on November 19.  "We are requesting that Sikhs avoid travelling on Air India. On November 19, there will be an international embargo. Air India will not be permitted to function. Sikhs, refrain from using Air India after November 19. According to ANI, Pannun said, "Your life may be in danger."

He said that the name of the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport in Delhi would change and it will stay closed on November 19. "It is exactly the same day in November on which the conclusive match of the World Terror Cup will have to be played," he said.

"The name of this airport are going to be Shahid Beant Singh, Shahid Satwant Singh Khalistan airport whenever Punjab will be liberated," he said.

It is said that Pannun is thinking back to the 1985 bombing of Air India flight 182, operation Kanishka, by terrorists from Khalistani. Up to 329 people perished in the explosion, while two baggage handlers at Tokyo's Narita airport perished in an explosion caused by a different bomb on a different aircraft.

India was warned by Pannun with a "Hamas-like attack if India is going maintain occupying Punjab." Pannun said (PM) Modi learnt from the Palestine-Israel issue in the video that was broadcast last month. "Violence breeds violence as people under oppression from Punjab to Palestine will respond. There would be repercussions if India continues to occupy Punjab, he said.

Sanjay Kumar Verma, India's high commissioner to Ottawa, said that the issue would be brought up with the Canadian government after the video became viral.  "We shall take up the threat regarding Air India flights originating from as well as completing in Canada, with the concerned Canadian the authorities," he told the Hindustan Times.

"After reviewing the film, we found that its content blatantly violates the Chicago Convention, which establishes guidelines for international civil aircraft operations. Among many other countries, Canada and India are Parties to the Convention. Such concerns are addressed under the bilateral civil aviation agreement between Canada and India, Verma told the news site.
