There is a state in India called Punjab which is a major center for the Sikh demographic. There is a Sikh separatist movement that calls for a state for Sikhs which they call Khalistan. The adherents of this movements are Khalistanis.
Now I don’t know how legitimate this “threat” of Khalistanis is because the news is useless here. They have some history of organising and violence. For example, Indira Gandhi (former prime minister) was assassinated by her bodyguards who belonged to this movement.
These days though they are more often than not just used as the enemy to fearmonger. They still have a presence but not like before. If you have read about Trudeau talking about Indian state-sanctioned assassinations in Canada, that was related to this but I am not sure how closely.
IMO that movement has many of the hallmarks of being a propped up US/western destabilization and balkanization operation much like their support for that terrorist movement in Xinjiang in China. Their support is lower key perhaps because they want to maintain good relations against India to use it against China but it’s still there.
IIRC this was following the massacre she unleashed on their most sacred temple. The Gandhi Family is Bourgeoisie scum like every other indian politico family. personally looted and kept the country down for so long.
What’s a khalistani?

Being assassinated by your own bodyguards is quite ironic.
