Washington (Web Desk): The Sikh community residing in the United States is set to participate in large numbers in the Khalistan referendum scheduled for August 17 in Washington, D.C. This referendum aims to assert the democratic rights of Sikhs and seeks global recognition of their peaceful political struggle.

U.S. authorities have approved the referendum, viewing it as a defense of Sikh democratic rights and a show of support for their political freedom. In a significant move, the US. court has deported Indian agent Nikhil Gupta and a RAW officer for conspiring to assassinate Sikh leader Gurpatwant Pannun. This action strengthens international backing for the Sikh community against India.

Moreover, U.S. President Donald Trump has reportedly provided security assurances to Khalistan leader Gurpatwant Pannun.

Additionally, Canada, the US, and Australia have exposed Indian covert networks and ensured the protection of Sikh activists.

Since 2021, the Khalistan referendum has been successfully conducted in eight countries. International courts have dismissed India’s petitions against Sikh rights and have recognized the peaceful nature of the Sikh struggle.

Despite Indian propaganda and pressure, Western judicial bodies have rejected Indian requests to declare the Khalistan referendums illegal.

This acknowledgment affirms the Sikh community’s movement as a lawful and peaceful campaign on the global stage.

The Sikh community’s clear message is that they are pursuing their rights through peaceful means under international law, and their movement deserves global recognition.

The referendum on August 17 is poised to be a significant milestone in the democratic and legal struggle of the Sikh community.
