The Motive Behind Golden Temple Threats is Nothing More Than Spreading Fear in India

  • He describes Pannun as mentally unstable yet dangerous — a terrorist who works under the direction of ISI and hides behind American laws and sympathetic media but can never dare to step foot on Indian soil.
  • While it is difficult to say exactly who is behind these threats and what their precise intentions are, the possible involvement of Pakistani and Khalistani elements cannot be ruled out.
  • Even after the recent Pahalgam attack and the successful Operation Sindoor carried out by the Indian Army, Pakistan continues its sinister attempts to target the Golden Temple.

The Golden Temple, a sacred religious site not only for Sikhs but also revered by people of other faiths, draws lakhs of devotees from across India and abroad every day. In recent days, the site has received bomb threats four to five times, creating a widespread atmosphere of fear. Pilgrims staying at or planning to visit the shrine are understandably anxious.

However, the government and administration have made tight security arrangements. The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), which manages the Gurdwara, is also maintaining strict vigilance through its task force, closely monitoring every individual entering or exiting the premises.

While it is difficult to say exactly who is behind these threats and what their precise intentions are, the possible involvement of Pakistani and Khalistani elements cannot be ruled out. These forces have long been attempting to create an atmosphere of terror within India. But they often forget that alongside the Indian Army, every citizen of India is capable of giving a fitting reply to such attempts.

Even after the recent Pahalgam attack and the successful Operation Sindoor carried out by the Indian Army, Pakistan continues its sinister attempts to target the Golden Temple. Fortunately, these efforts have been foiled by the brave soldiers of India. The email threats to blow up the Golden Temple can rightly be termed “digital terrorism.”

For a long time, individuals like Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, operating from Canada and other countries with Pakistan’s support, have been trying to spread fear in India. After Pakistan’s failure in the Pahalgam attack, its intelligence agency ISI has shifted focus to promoting Khalistani elements to wage digital terrorism within India.

As a result, many Indians who are openly campaigning against Khalistani ideology are now receiving threats through digital means. Sukhminderpal Singh Grewal, a BJP leader from Ludhiana, believes that people like Gurpatwant Singh Pannun and Harvinder Singh Rinda are engaged in spreading terror by sending threat-laden emails to silence patriotic voices. He describes Pannun as mentally unstable yet dangerous — a terrorist who works under the direction of ISI and hides behind American laws and sympathetic media but can never dare to step foot on Indian soil.

Political analysts suggest that such internationally coordinated threats could push India to adopt a firmer stance against foreign-sponsored extremism.
