The letter, written by Supreme Court Advocate-On-Record Association (SCAORA), claimed that the calls were made allegedly by a pro-Khalistan organisation Sikhs for Justice (SFJ).
“Its members/ several Advocates on Record of the Hon’ble Supreme Court received an anonymous automated pre-recorded call, once at approximately 10,40 a.m. and another call at about 12.36 p.m. today i.e., on January 10, 2022; fastening responsibility for Prime Minister Modi’s security breach during his visit to Punjab on January 5, 2022 on ‘Sikhs for Justice’ (SFJ) from USA, wherein it was stated that SFJ is responsible for blocking PM Modi’s cavalcade at Hussaninwala flyover in Punjab,” it said.
The caller further warned the Honourable Supreme Court judges to refrain from hearing the public interest litigation filed by an NGO, Lawyers Voice, seeking probe into the security breach on the ground that the apex court has not been able to punish the culprits of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, said the letter written to Virender Kumar Bansal, Secretary General, Supreme Court.
