While saying that people of Palestine like Sikhs are facing existential threat, Sikh for Justice (SFJ) Chief Gurpatwant Singh Pannun has announced that Gurdwara Guru Nanak Commission in Surrey is going to donate $ 21,000 for the people of Palestine, especially in Gaza who are facing the worst humanitarian crisis, at present.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun in a video message said the money will be donated in memory of Sikh leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar who was assassinated by Indian agents in June 2023 in Canada.
Call for donation was made by the United Nations Refugee Agency and Food Program.
Gurpatwant Singh Pannun said that Gaza is facing a humanitarian crisis, and it is time for all people to come out of their houses and donate irrespective of religion for the Palestinian people. He said people of Palestine, as Sikhs could feel, are facing existential threat at the hands of respective oppressors. Sikhs have faced genocide at the hands of India, he added.
“We are liberating Punjab from Indian occupation, from Hindu supremacist regime, which is celebrating deaths of children in Gaza and celebrating destruction of Palestine.”
Pannun said, Sikhs are donating and praying for the people of Palestine and Gaza. He added that Sikhs are going to create a country, Khalistan, based on the teachings of Gurugranth Sahib and Guru Nanak Sahib.—KMS
