India, they noted, has neither concrete evidence nor credible proof to support its claims.<\/p>\n<p>Following the killing of Khalistan movement leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada by Indian agents\u2014and credible evidence of Modi government\u2019s direct involvement\u2014India has been in a state of panic. In desperate bid to shield itself from global scrutiny, New Delhi has intensified efforts to paint the Khalistan movement as Pakistan sponsored, using this false narrative as a political weapon.<\/p>\n<p>Branding incidents in Punjab as \u201cPakistan-backed terrorism\u201d and levelling unsubstantiated allegations against against Pakistan is a long-standing Indian ploy aimed at diverting attention from its domestic failures. \u201cThe Modi government\u2019s claims and accusations are hollow, masking the reality of India\u2019s repeated setbacks and failures and its growing dependence on smear campaigns and baseless allegations,\u201d the experts said.<\/p>\n<p>The assassination of Sikh leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada and the foiled plot to kill Sikh leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannun in the US have badly exposed India\u2019s ugly face on the global stage. Expert point out that these incidents confirm how the Modi regime\u2019s state-sponsored terrorism has now extended well beyond its borders. India is ruthlessly suppressing the voices of Sikhs fighting for their rights and is visibly unsettled by the rising tide of dissent in Punjab. By invoking names such as Harwinder Singh alias Rinda and Lakhbir Singh alias Landa, it seeks to portray Sikh as part of a hidden agenda.<\/p>\n<p>In reality, India has failed to address the unrest in Punjab and is resorting to underhanded tactics to malign Pakistan. However, the international community remains unconvinced by its lies, propaganda, and disinformation campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>Experts also dismissed India\u2019s attempt to misrepresent a recent FBI operation in the US conducted under the \u201cSummer Heat\u201d initiative as a counter-terrorism action linked to Pakistan. In fact, the operation targeted local gangs and criminal activities, with no mention of Pakistan by either US authorities or the FBI. Those arrested in the US face charges of kidnapping, conspiracy, and other criminal offences\u2014not terrorism. New Delhi\u2019s portrayal of the case as \u201ccross-border terrorism\u201d is yet another falsehood aimed at misleading global public opinion.<\/p>\n<p>India, the experts added, fears that the growing popularity of the Khalistan movement in Canada, the UK, and the US will further expose the Modi government\u2019s authoritarian policies and repression of minorities. They stressed that it has become imperative to uncover India\u2019s overseas covert operations, extrajudicial activities, and disinformation drives.<\/p>\n<p>The international community, they concluded, must press for impartial investigations into India\u2019s global propaganda campaign, its crackdown on minorities\u2014especially Sikhs\u2014and its illegal misuse of counter-terrorism laws.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Islamabad: India has miserably failed in its malicious attempt to link the Khalistan movement and Sikh activists demanding a separate homeland with Pakistan, as its false narrative on the matter has found no traction at the international level.
