In a development which shows the desperation of Khalistanis to stoke violence in the country and blame the same on government agencies and the ruling party, the Intelligence Bureau and RA&W have revealed, according to news agency ANI, that the Khalistan Command Force (KCF) has hatched a well-coordinated plan to assassinate a farmer union leader protesting on the borders of Delhi against the three farm reforms passed by the Modi government last year. The laws passed by the Indian parliament have met with stiff resistance by the farmers mainly from Punjab, Haryana and Western Uttar Pradesh.
Khalistanis have desperately been looking for windows of opportunity to stoke violence at the protest sites and in the national capital. On January 26, such elements gained the upper hand and effectuated chaos on the streets of Delhi. Now, the latest plan hatched by the KCF aims at killing a farmer leader against whom the organisation harbours a historic grudge, while also using the same to corner the Modi government. The ‘farmers’ would have blamed the government and its agencies for ‘killing’ a union leader to dilute the protests and scare away others. The same could have led to a breakout of violence.
India’s intelligence agencies, however, have foiled all such plans and exposed the grand conspiracy. According to news agency ANI, the plan was to defame India by killing a farmer leader amid the ongoing protests. The KCF’s plan was also to settle the score with the leader who was allegedly “involved in eliminating KCF cadres from Punjab in the past”. KCF is a pro-Khalistani terror organisation involved in various assassinations in India. The outfit has members based in various countries like Canada, United Kingdom, Belgium and Pakistan.
According to the input, information received by agencies also said the KCF perceived that the ‘killing of the leader at this juncture could lead to increase in violence in India and onus of killing will be on government agencies or workers of a political party.’ The report prepared by IB and RA&W goes on to show how the farmers’ protest is a sitting tinderbox, ready to explode in the face of New Delhi if not dealt with soon. Such a conspiracy by pro-Khalistanis to defame India comes after an underground information war of defaming India was exposed following ecofascist Greta Thunberg’s inadvertent sharing of the incriminatory Google Toolkit.
The reality is, if the Modi government does not dispose off the ongoing protests in a time-bound manner, they might very well turn uncontrollable. Already having suffered a major loss of face after the January 26 violence instigated by pro-Khalistanis, the agitation has lost whatever little sympathy it had garnered over the past few months. Now, another spate of violence must be prevented from breaking out, and nobody but the government must act to ensure the same.
