A large Azad Khalistan rally against India was held in Surrey, British Columbia, a day before the Khalistan Referendum.
Members of the Sikh community, both men and women, bearing Khalistan flags, marched covering a two-kilometer distance to Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara where Shaheed Hardeep Singh Nijjar centre has been formed for the voting.
During the charged Khalistan rally, the Sikhs enthusiastically voiced slogans such as “Delhi bane kakhalsa,” “Lay keh Rahain gay khalasa,” “Punjab Banay Ga Khalistan” and “Azad Khalistan,” filling the air with their fervent chants.
At the rally, the participants voiced a strong demand for justice in the case of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, urging the authorities to bring his killers to account. The attendants appreciated the stance of Canadian PM Justin Trudeau who has publicly accused India of killing Sikh leader Nijjar and hunting several other Canadian Sikhs.
The rally participants vowed to preserve the values and vision of Nijjar, who met a tragic end at the hands of Indian agents in June last. The rally participants passionately chanted slogans such as “Hardeep Nijjar tera khatilkon Hindustan, Hindustan?”
They expressed their appreciation for Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s condemnation of state terrorism by the Indian government that occurred within Canada.
Looking ahead, several thousand Sikhs are set to take part in the upcoming October 29th referendum. A mere three months ago, 135,000 Sikhs rallied in support of the Sikh cause at Gurunanak Sikh Gurdwara in British Columbia.
Addressing, the Council of Khalistan President Dr.Bakhshish Singh Sandhu stated that the Sikh nation is seeking from India the identical right employed by India during the annexation of the Junagadh state in 1948.
He said the global community stands in solidarity with the Sikh nation in their pursuit of Punjab’s freedom.
Dr.Sandhu, emphasized their intent to achieve Punjab’s freedom through a referendum, wherein the right to vote would be exercised. Dr.Sandhu suggests that the right to conduct a referendum is granted by countries to their citizens.
