Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (PSGPC) and its parent body Evacuee Trust Property Board (ETPB) recently honoured pro-Khalistan leader Gopal Singh Chawla. Chawla was removed from PSGPC last year, after India had exerted pressure on Pakistan over his links with 26/11 Mumbai terror attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed. The move had come as India had refused to sign the agreement on Kartarpur corridor if Chawla continued to be a member of the committee.
Chawla
posted a picture on his Facebook account of his being honoured by ETPB
additional secretary Tariq Wazir and PSGPC president Satwant Singh.
A source in intelligence said the move showed that Chawla was still an integral part of PSGPC and ETPB, as he was still being honoured by the two bodies.
