Observations and implications

Earlier, Pannun was charged with challenging India's sovereignty by offering 11 crore as a reward to stop flag hoisting in the Red Fort. Similarly, Gosal was arrested earlier in November 2024, over an altercation at the Hindu Sabha Mandir in Brampton and was immediately out on bail. The growing Khalistani Separatist movement in Canada's outlook towards it had soured the relationship between India and Canada. However, these statements by Pannun and Gosal are more rhetoric instead of having any operational capacity.
