SFJ terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun threatens comedian Kapil Sharma

Pro-Khalistan supporter and terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, head of Sikh for Justice (SFJ), has threatened comedian Kapil Sharma for opening a cafe in Canada.

Amritsar, July 12: Pro-Khalistan supporter and terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, head of Sikh for Justice (SFJ), has threatened comedian Kapil Sharma for opening a cafe in Canada. Pannun released a video saying that Kapil calls himself a Hinduist. He threatened that Kapil’s cafe could be fired upon and Khalistani supporters could be accused.

Pannun further said that people from India are investing in the Canadian city of Surrey. Is Kapil’s cafe just a comedy cafe, or is it part of a strategy to expand Hindutva globally? These people are doing business in Canada; why not in India? When they do not follow the laws of Canada, why are they coming here? This is not a playground. Take your money and go back to India. Hindutva ideology will not work here. However, The Savera does not confirm Pannu’s video.

Know the case of firing at Kapil Sharma’s cafe…

Firing took place on the night of 9th July

On 9th July, firing took place at comedian Kapil Sharma’s cafe in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada. Kapil Sharma had inaugurated this cafe named Kap’s Cafe three days ago on 7th July. It was claimed that the attackers fired 9 rounds at the cafe. Its video also surfaced.

Terrorist Laddi took responsibility

Media reports claimed that Khalistani terrorist Harjeet Singh Laddi took responsibility for the attack on Kapil’s cafe. He is associated with Babbar Khalsa International (BKI). He is included in the list of most wanted terrorists in the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in India.

After the attack, Kap’s Cafe wrote on a social media post –

We started Kaps Cafe not just as a business, but as a place where people can find peace while having a conversation over coffee. But it is heartbreaking for this dream to be marred by such violence. We are struggling with this shock, but we will not give up.

Claims of commenting on Nihangs in the show

Media reports have claimed that Harjeet Singh Ladi got firing done at Kapil Sharma’s cafe for commenting against Nihang Sikhs during a comedy show. On social media, Harjeet Singh Laddi and another person named Toofan Singh warned Kapil Sharma to apologize publicly through a video and said that if he did not apologize, the matter could get worse.

The two also claimed that they tried to contact Kapil Sharma’s manager several times but were ignored. Eventually, they had to open fire outside the cafe to get the comedian’s attention.
