ISLAMABAD:
The Sikh community in the United States is set to hold a Khalistan referendum in Washington DC on Sunday (today) with thousands of Sikhs from across the country expected to participate, Kashmir Media Service reported.
Organised by Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), a pro-Khalistan group, the referendum provides a platform for the Sikh community to voice their democratic aspirations as part of the global movement for an independent Khalistan.
At a news conference, SFJ leaders lauded US President Donald Trump for his tough stance on India’s actions, while criticising Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government for its global drive against the Khalistan movement.
Recently, President Trump wrote a letter to Khalistan movement leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, assuring the safety of US nationals.
In the recent past, Canada, the United States, and Australia have exposed Indian intelligence networks allegedly involved in targeting Sikh activists.
