Chandigarh:After Punjab, Haryana came at the target of Khalistan Liberation Front, a banned group as its head Gurpatwant Singh Pannu threatened the residents of state, demanding their support for his cause. State Home Minister Anil Vij on Wednesday assured immediate action against the KLF in this regard.

Pannu had been found to be gathering people's support for Referendum 2020 for the formation of Khalistan.

He earlier targeted residents of Punjab and has now proceeded to Haryana with the same motive.

Pannu claimed in his message that the people of Haryana always stood against the interests of Punjab and Sikhs.

"It is an attempt to spoil peace and brotherhood between the people of both the states. Any attempt to make peace with him will not be tolerated," said Anil Vij.

The group aims at liberating Punjab from India's occupation. The threats of Pannu have been seen as a warning for the Haryana government. In case Punjab gets liberated from India, Haryana would go with it given its associations with the state.

Earlier on June 28, Delhi Police arrested KLF members for setting up a training camp in western Uttar Pradesh.

Initial interrogation revealed that the a number of Uttar Pradesh politicians were on the hit list of the Khalistan Liberation Front (KLF).

The KLF members, identified as Gurtej Singh (41) and Lovepreet (21), told the ATS team that they were planning to execute targeted killings in northern states.

The special cell officers said that both of them were close to the Pakistan-based ISI handler Abdullah and Avtar Singh Pannu of the 'Sikhs For Justice', a banned outfit.
