Sikhs for Justice (SFJ)’s call to farmers to ‘Seize Indian Parliament’ on December 13 is “unwarranted” and a sign of “foreign interference” that the Canadian government should respond for, top intelligence sources have told CNN-News18.
The secessionist group had announced a travel budget of Rs 25 lakh for Sikh farmers to seize Indian Parliament on December 13, coinciding with the 23rd year of the 2001 Parliament attack.
“Foreign interference was visible last time and this time too. The protest is an internal matter and unwarranted. Farmers have faith in the government set-up and soon, the issue will be resolved,” they added.
Farmers protesting in the Capital are demanding a farm loan waiver, pension for farmers and farm labourers, no hike in the electricity tariff, withdrawal of police cases and “justice” for the victims of 2021 Lakhimpur Kheri violence, reinstatement of the Land Acquisition Act, 2023, and compensation to the families of the farmers who died during a previous agitation in 2020-21.
They want an allocation of 10 per cent plots and 64.7 per cent increased compensation under the old acquisition law, that is four times the market rate compensation, and 20 per cent plots on the land acquired after January 1, 2014.
Earlier, in yet another threat, SFJ founder Gurpatwant Singh Pannun had targeted the DG-IG Conference that was held in Odisha from November 29.
According to top intelligence sources, Pannun is getting money for every post against India and is now trying to intervene in every matter.
