World ( The cow news digital ) Pro-Khalistan activist and Sikh For Justice leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannun has issued a strong statement against India and its leadership, describing the country as “not just a hell, but a genocide-filled hell,” alleging long-standing persecution of the Sikh community.
In his statement, Pannun supported remarks attributed to former US President Donald Trump, who had reportedly referred to India as a “hellhole.” Pannun said such comments reflect international concern over human rights conditions in the country.
He further alleged that successive Indian governments have been responsible for what he described as systematic oppression of Sikhs. According to him, the community has faced decades of discrimination, violence, and political marginalization. He claimed that under the current government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Sikhs are facing both economic hardship and what he termed “ethnic cleansing policies.”
Pannun also reiterated his group’s support for the creation of an independent Khalistan state, stating that Sikh activists continue to run a global referendum campaign aimed at securing what he called “freedom from Indian control in Punjab.” He described the movement as peaceful and internationally driven, although it remains highly controversial and strongly rejected by the Indian government.
In addition, Pannun made allegations regarding Indian nationalist influence in the United States, claiming that certain Hindu nationalist groups are engaged in anti-US activities. He urged US authorities to take action and suggested implementing what he called an “American loyalty test” for Hindu Americans, a proposal that has not been supported by any official US body.
The Indian government has consistently rejected such statements from separatist leaders, maintaining that the country is a sovereign democracy where all citizens enjoy equal rights under the constitution. New Delhi has previously accused overseas separatist groups of spreading misinformation and attempting to destabilize India’s internal security environment.

Observers note that such statements continue to fuel diplomatic friction and remain a contentious issue in India’s relations with advocacy groups abroad.
