Arrest of Sikh Separatist Leader Exposes Dangerous Khalistan Ideology and ISI Links.
TL;DR
Amritpal Singh, a self-declared leader of Sikh separatism, has been arrested in Punjab, India, after a month-long manhunt. Singh, who models himself on a former Sikh militant leader, had been charged with attempted murder over an attack on a police station in February. His arrest has not prompted significant protests, but his agenda, which mingles demands for action on social problems in Punjab with Sikh separatism, could yet strike a chord in the Sikh-majority state.
