1) evidence is provided in the speech of Bharpur Singh, the speech of Bhindranwale, interviews with militants, and so on. Generally it’s well known, you can see that every militant jatha was led by and primarily populated by Amritdhari Singh’s. You can ask your own parents for perspective too.

2) I am not “focusing” on anything. I am saying that it shows a modern inconsistency that modern Khalistanis (Like Pannu) who feign a connection to the Khalistan movement in the 80s, claim that they’re on the same mission, avenging the same problems, venerating the same heroes, etc., don’t even share common values with any of those they venerate. Bhindranwale is the one who said Sikhs who cut their hair don’t look like their father, and urged the necessity of all those who did to keep their beard and hair. If Pannu wants to claim he’s part of that movement with that man as an intellectual figurehead, don’t you notice a glaring inconsistency?

3) yes, but the point is that far before that he was, again, talking about the necessity to keep kesh. Modern Khalistanis conveniently leave that out while talking about his political speeches - which is fine, but they’re the ones who claim to be simply following the movement that was started in 1984.
