The Pakistan-based terror group Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) has emerged as the chosen leader of a unified terror network, according to recent intelligence. This development is part of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI)'s relentless efforts to reignite the Khalistan movement in Punjab, a plan that has been in the works for quite some time. The ISI's strategy involves a massive recruitment drive, which has so far been hindered by the Punjabi population's apparent disinterest in the Khalistani ideology.
The ISI's decision to place the BKI at the helm of this unified network is a strategic one. With 41 groups involved, some sympathetic and others more militant, the ISI aims to streamline their efforts under one powerful entity. The BKI's selection is attributed to its strength, extensive network in Punjab and abroad, and close ties with the gangster underworld, which provides both funding and recruits.
Intelligence Bureau officials have expressed concern that a multi-group approach could confuse potential recruits, ultimately hindering the recruitment drive. The BKI's leadership is expected to provide a more focused and effective campaign. The group has been coordinating with gangsters for years, raising funds and executing terror attacks. Recently, with ISI support, they've intensified drone operations to smuggle drugs and ammunition into Punjab, using advanced technology, including AI, to avoid detection and destruction.
This development has put Punjab's security forces and intelligence agencies on high alert. The BKI's ability to mobilize resources across Pakistan, Canada, Germany, and the UK, despite being banned in several countries, underscores the complexity of the threat. The coming days are expected to be crucial as authorities brace for the ISI's intensified push for the Khalistan movement.
