In which a warning has been given to hoist the Khalistan flag in Shimla on 29 April. According to the letter, it has also been said from SFJ to raise 50 thousand dollars for this program.
Sikh For Justice president Gurpatwant Singh Pannu has shot off the letter to the journalists of Shimla mentioning that on April 29 Khalistan flag will be hoisted at Shimla. The letter further says that Shimla was the capital of Punjab until 1966. Himachal Pradesh was bifurcated from Punjab made a separate state in 1966.
