New Delhi: On Sunday, May 12, pro-Khalistan slogans were discovered on the walls of Karol Bagh and Jhandewala stations of the Delhi Metro. This is not the first instance of pro-Khalistan slogans appearing on Delhi metro stations. The police have filed an FIR in the case and requested CCTV footage from the concerned metro stations. According to reports, the slogans were painted by supporters of the banned terrorist outfit Sikhs For Justice (SFJ), which has previously claimed responsibility for such incidents.
Last year in August, the Delhi Police Special Cell arrested a member of the banned terrorist outfit Sikhs For Justice (SFJ), identified as Preetpal. He allegedly spray-painted pro-Khalistani graffiti and slogans at Metro stations in Delhi on August 27. Preetpal was apprehended from Punjab during the early hours of August 31, 2023.
Prior to the G20 summit in the National Capital, Khalistani graffiti emerged on several metro rail stations in Delhi. The graffiti appeared on more than 8 metro stations in the national capital with slogans like “Delhi Banega Khalistan” (Delhi will become Khalistan), “Khalistan Zindabad” (Long live Khalistan), and “Khalistan Referendum Zindabad” (Long live Khalistan Referendum). Delhi Police promptly launched an investigation into the matter.
SFJ also posted footage of the Shivaji Park and Punjabi Bagh metro stations with graffiti stating “Punjab Is Not India” and “Khalistan Zindabad” on the walls. SFJ chief, terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, commented, “Reminding G20 leaders that violence begets violence. Indian government’s use of bullets against pro-Khalistan Sikhs has reached Canada, UK, and Australia.”
In a similar incident a week before Republic Day in 2023, SFJ members spray-painted graffiti in several West Delhi neighborhoods. Vikram Singh and Balram Singh, who were drivers for a hotel in Aerocity, were arrested by the special cell of the Delhi Police in connection with the case.
