Prominent Sikh leader Amarjit Singh has said that with the help of Pakistan, Sikh community can make Khalistan a separate state to get rid of India.

In an interview with Pak based Daily, he disclosed the details behind the initiation of Khalistan movement and ongoing tension between India and Pakistan in the aftermath of Uri attack.

Amarjit Singh who also heads “Khalistan Affairs center” in Washington sought to enlist the help of Pakistan diplomatically to create “Khalistan”.

To a question regarding Indian allegations of Pakistani involvement in Uri attack, he slammed the Indian administration and opined that at a time when Indian oppression in Kashmir is at its worst, why would Pakistan carry out such an activity that could hurt the Kashmir cause.

He threw his weight behind the statement of Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Geelani that Uri attack was executed to divert attention from state violence in restive region as the same was done back in 2002 when as many as 35 Sikhs were killed just before the visit of then US President Clinton to divert the attention of international world.

He claimed that India has released funds for induction of SPO’s (Special Police Officers) to keep Indian government abreast of the inside information of Kashmir.
