RCMP spokeswoman Kristine Kelly says police are collaborating with domestic and international partners and 害羞草研究所渋ndustry stakeholders害羞草研究所� in an investigation into the threat against Air India flights.

The original remarks about Air India were made by Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a U.S.-based organizer of unofficial referendums on Sikh independence, including recent votes in Surrey, B.C.

Pannun says in a video, delivered in a mix of Punjabi and English, that he害羞草研究所檚 asking Sikhs to 害羞草研究所渘ot fly Air India害羞草研究所� on Nov. 19, and there will be a 害羞草研究所済lobal blockade害羞草研究所� against the airline that day.

A 2005 Canadian government report concluded that the 1985 Air India bombings that killed 331 people were carried out as a result of a conspiracy by Sikh separatists that was 害羞草研究所減lanned and executed害羞草研究所� in Canada.

Only one man, bomb maker Inderjit Singh Reyat, was ever convicted.

Pannun is one of the main spokesman for the Sikh independence movement in North America who has been among the leaders of a series of non-binding referendums held among diaspora communities asking for the establishment of an independent state within India.

Another leader of the movement, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, was shot and killed in June outside a Sikh gurdwara in Surrey, B.C.

In September, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told the House of Commons that there were 害羞草研究所渃redible allegations害羞草研究所� potentially linking India害羞草研究所檚 government to Nijjar害羞草研究所檚 killing.

Two rounds of referendum voting have been held in Surrey this year on Sikh independence at the same Gurdwara where Nijjar was killed, drawing thousands of voters from the community.
