Gurpatwant Singh Pannun Threatens to Attack Ram Mandir, Other Temples: "Will Shake Foundations of Ayodhya"

In a statement that has sent shockwaves through the nation's capital, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, leader of pro-Khalistan outfit Khalistan Armed Forces, has issued a threat to attack the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya and other revered temples across India.

Pannun made these ominous assertions while addressing a meeting held at a resort on the outskirts of Delhi. The statement has sparked widespread concern among Hindu leaders, politicians, and security agencies.

According to sources close to Pannun, he claimed that Khalistan Armed Forces' operations would target the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, the Gobindgarh shrine in Punjab's Amritsar district, the Shirdi Saibaba temple in Maharashtra, and the Bhimasen Sena temple in Gujarat.

"Terrorists from Pakistan are planning to launch a series of attacks on temples across India," Pannun was quoted as saying. "This is not just an attack on temples but also an assault on our nation's unity and social fabric."

The police have been briefed about the warning, with several senior officers confirming that they were taking 'all necessary precautions' in view of potential threats.

In a move to beef up security near these high-profile sites, security personnel are being increased and sensitive intelligence sources activated. Meanwhile, authorities are urging people not to panic and cautioning travelers to take normal precautions while moving around temple areas

The statement comes amidst worsening tensions between India and Pakistan over the recent Pulwama attack aftermath.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has convened an emergency cabinet meeting at 11 pm today to review law and order measures in light of the emerging threat.

With protests erupting outside Parliament over various issues, security arrangements for the PM's meeting will be unusually high
