Who is Puneet Sahani
Puneet Sahani is a Sikh activist who coordinates the content on Sikhs for Enlightenment Values Association (SEVA). Sahani is on a mission to highlight the ‘real Sikh history’. He has actively criticized the Khalistan movement and its sympathizers, making him one of the prime targets of the Khalistani elements.
Sahani has extensive knowledge of Sikh history and being fluent in Punjabi, he has become an ‘enemy within’ for the Khalistanis. His personal account and SEVA’s Twitter account have been targeted with mass reporting in the past.
Khalistanis ruthlessly target dissent
Khalistani supporters have a long history of suppressing dissent. In January, OpIndia had reported how Khalistanis have been using the app Club House for plotting against Hindus. They abuse Hindu Gods and Goddesses, plan Hindu genocides and preach hate against the Hindu community. Despite several complaints and even FIRs against such elements, their activities have not slowed down.
