Nancy’s mother has held Khalistanis responsible for the murder. She clearly stated that her daughter had been receiving repeated threats from Khalistanis for a long time. Because of this, she had advised her daughter to stop speaking out, but Nancy continued to raise her voice fearlessly and reached millions of people. She expressed hope that although her daughter is no longer in this world, many more daughters like Nancy will emerge in the future.
On the other hand, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun has crossed all limits of insensitivity by blaming the Indian government and its agencies for Nancy’s murder. Such incidents are often not aimed merely at harming one individual but also at sending a wider message—that anyone who raises their voice against separatists will face the same fate. It is a strategy meant to create fear and silence in society so that people refrain from speaking out. However, history shows that ideas can never be suppressed through violence.
In this case, the most important responsibility lies with law enforcement agencies. The murder of Nancy Grewal is a matter of deep pain and concern. If this incident is linked to intolerance toward differing opinions and religious extremism, it clearly reflects the cowardice of a mindset that fears debate and democratic dialogue.
