According to a July, 1987 article from the publication India Today entitled "The Spectre of Terrorism", the Khalistan Commando Force (KCF) is the "main terrorist group" operating in the Punjab region of India. The group is "closely linked to the Gurjit faction of the AISSF [All-India Sikh Students Federation] and the Damdami Taksal [a group of fundamentalists founded by Bhindranwale [Office central suisse, Inde (Lausanne: OSAR, 1988), p. 42.] and led by Gurdev Singh [Keesing's Record of World Events (1986), Vol. 32 (London: Longman Group UK Ltd., 1986), p. 34562.]] and often uses the Golden Temple as a rendez-vous point. It is said to have about 100 hardcore killers, plus several teenagers who are also prepared to kill for the cause. ["The Spectre of Terrorism", India Today [New Delhi], 31 July 1987.]"

The leader of the KCF, who went under the name General Labh Singh, was gunned down by Indian security forces on July 12, 1988. ["Fighting the Phoenix", India Today [New Delhi], 15 August 1988, p. 51.]

Paramjit Singh Panjwar is now the leader of the Khalistan Commando Force. Last February, along with the leaders of other militant groups, he claimed responsibility for the killing of AISSF activist Harminder Singh Sandhu in Amritsar.
