PUNJAB, once again, finds itself in the crosshairs of gun violence and cross-border terror. The impending extradition of Khalistani terrorist Harpreet Singh, alias Happy Passia, from the US is a reminder of the long shadow that extremist ideologies cast over the state. Accused of carrying out 14 grenade attacks and operating at the behest of Pakistan’s ISI, Passia’s return to India will no doubt aid investigations. It also underscores how Punjab continues to be targeted by external hostile forces.
