Since the abrogation of Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan has been trying to take the matter on the international platform. Several Pakistani and Khalistani supporters have come together to protest against PM Modi during the upcoming UNGA session and Howdy, Modi event.

According to The Print, the Intelligence Agency has said that Gurpatwant Singh Pannun of Sikh for Justice (SFJ) is believed to be behind the trial.
