Punjab Police Chief Dinkar Gupta on Friday raised questions over Pakistan’s intentions behind opening the Kartarpur Corridor and said that Kartarpur offers an opportunity for a person to come back as a "trained terrorist" in one day.

"Kartarpur offers a potential that you send somebody in the morning as an ordinary chap and by evening he comes back as a trained terrorist actually. You are there for six hours, you can be taken to a firing range, you can be taught to make an IED," said Gupta, while speaking at The Indian Express Idea Exchange in Panchkula.

Gupta said that there were reasons for why the Corridor was not kept open all these years. Some elements based in the neighbouring country were "trying to woo the pilgrims and making overtures to them," he said.

On Nov. 9 last year, three days ahead of the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev, the founder of Sikhism, the corridor was opened that connects Dera Baba Nanak in Punjab’s Gurdaspur district with the Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Pakistan’s Kartarpur.

"It is a huge concern…that is why it was not opened for all these years. I was in the Intelligence Bureau for eight years…I used to handle it over there," the DGP said. "The feeling was that it (the Corridor) will be a huge security challenge. But after that as the community wanted it, the diaspora wanted it, it was decided why cannot this dream be realised. So all those security concerns were put on the backburner. And we also gave our go-ahead."

He said that Pakistan-based elements and agencies have in the past tried to find potential people for radicalisation. Considering the number of footfalls there is "huge potential" (people for radicalisation), so it is a security challenge, Gupta said.

Curious case of Lieutenant Sardar Pawan Singh of Pakistan Navy:

I am sure this is nothing but a gimmick by ISI to show some sort of harmony and alliance between Pakistani Muslims and Sikhs in order to revive Khalistan movement. I even doubt whether this guy is really a Sikh.

For 55 years there was no Sikh officer in Pakistani military. Then one was commissioned in Pakistan army during Musharraf era. More Sikhs may have joined Pakistan military afterwards. But this Pavan guy, I am sure, is just for the purpose of brainwashing the Sikhs against India.

Apparently there was a fight between Khalistan supporters and Indians(primarily Haryanvis) in Australia.

Some Khalistani fellow Jassi challenged them to a fight and got their backsides whooped

“But the deadliest attack was made on 30th September, 1990. On that day about 200 terrorists surrounded the Sandhu’s house from all sides and attacked them continuously for 5 hours with deadly weapons including rocket launchers. The attack was well planned and the approach road of the house was blocked by spreading underground gun mines so that no help from police forces could reach them.

“Undaunted, the Sandhu brothers and their wives fought the terrorists with their pistols and sten guns. The resistance shown by the Sandhu brothers and their family members forced the terrorists to retreat. All these persons have displayed courage and bravery of a high order in facing the attack of the terrorists and foiling their repeated murderous attempts,” it added.

Following the incident, Balwinder Singh had converted his house into a virtual fortress.”

1981 Indian Airlines hijacker Gajinder Singh reveals his Pakistan location in social media post​

Contradictory to the Pakistan government's denial of his presence, Gajinder Singh, an accused hijacker of a 1981 Indian Airlines flight, revealed his current location was Pakistan's Punjab province. The location of the fugitive terrorist surfaced after the individual posted an image of himself, posing for the camera in front of a gurudwara, on his Facebook profile.

The runaway hijacker of an Indian Airlines aircraft, which was headed to Amritsar and was forcibly diverted to Lahore in 1981, uploaded his image on Monday.

Singh, known as the co-founder of the radical organisation Dal Khalsa, shared his photograph, standing in front of Pania Sahib Gurudwara at Hasal Abdal in Pakistan's province of Punjab.

1981 INDIAN AIRLINES PLANE HIJACK

An Indian Airlines Boeing 737 domestic passenger aircraft, departing from the Delhi airport and scheduled to land at Amritsar, was hijacked by five terrorists of the Dal Khalsa on September 29, 1981. Reports suggest that the hijackers were armed with daggers and hand grenades. After hijacking the aircraft which was carrying around 111 passengers, the terrorists forced a diversion to the Lahore airport.

Their demand was the establishment of a separate State for Sikhs. The leader of the hijackers was Gajindra Singh, whose recent images have appeared in Pakistan. The hijackers not only demanded the release of another terrorist, and the leading face of the Khalistani movement, Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, but also spoke with the Indian envoy to Pakistan, Natwar Singh, demanding a sum of USD 500,000.

The hijackers underwent a trial in Pakistan and were sentenced to life imprisonment by a court. However, they were released from jail and allowed to walk free in October 1994. Reports suggest that Singh had been on the country's most wanted list during 2002 and the Indian government has repeatedly tabled requests to Islamabad seeking his deportation.
