BJP leader receives a threat call after tweeting about the Khalistan row

The assistant of Bijayanat Jay Panda, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national vice president, on September 21 received a threatening call, which referenced the murder of Odisha Minister Naba Das, in New Delhi. The caller threatened "The same thing will be done to Jay Panda which was done to Naba Das." Odisha Minister Naba Das was shot dead in broad daylight by a police officer in January 2023. Panda filed a complaint with the Delhi police for investigation. The threat followed Panda's tweet suggesting an online referendum on Quebec independence in response to Canada's support for pro-Khalistan separatists and proposing a reciprocal approach in supporting Quebec's independence movement.
