Indians abroad bravely taking on Khalistanis, their supporters despite threats
Despite receiving multiple threats from Khalistani terrorists and their supporters, Indians abroad are bravely taking on these fringe elements.
Who are targeting Hindu religious places and leaders, and spreading hatred between the Sikhs and Hindus. Indian communities living in Australia, the UK, the US, Canada and Germany have united against the hate campaign launched by the Khalistanis, who are backed by Pakistan’s spy agency, Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).
The Indo-Canadian Workers’ Association Canada, together with the Punjabis, recently took a stand against communal and fundamentalist elements, leading to Canadian authorities revoking the permit for a planned Khalistan referendum event on September 10 at Tamanawis Secondary School in Surrey, British Columbia.
Other organisations such as the Australian Hindu Association Inc (AHA) also rallied against pro-Khalistani extremism in Australia, working to foster communal harmony within Indian communities and exposing the wrongdoings of these fringe elements.
Indian businessmen have stopped sponsoring Khalistani events in Australia. Several sponsorships have been rescinded due to the intervention of the AHA, prompting local brands such as GR8 Indian Street Food, Dosa Hut and Kulcha Kulture to abort their sponsorship of a Brisbane Khalistani event organised by Tarsem Kassar on August 12.
Earlier, Indian businessmen refused to sponsor a Griffith sports event when Khalistani flags were raised by Khalistani extremists. These repeated withdrawals forced the Khalistanis and the banned terror group Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) to cancel their so-called referendum after permission was denied multiple times.
Meanwhile, the Punjabis living abroad have protested against pro-Khalistani extremism, expressing disapproval of the disruption and animosity propagated by the ISI-backed Khalistani terrorists. They have criticised the activities of terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun and his followers.
A man, Joginder Bassi, has challenged the Khalistanis to hold a referendum in Punjab instead of foreign countries. Bassi stated the Khalistanis were acting against the interests of Sikhs and defaming their homeland for immigration purposes.
It is alleged that several Khalistani organisations and political parties were issuing letters to the governments of Canada, the US and other countries to seek asylum for gangsters and Khalistani terrorists backed by the ISI.
Canada-based Punjabi singer and activist Nancy Grewal, journalist Amar S Padda and US-based Sikh thinker Sukhi Chahal have hit out at the Khalistanis, challenging them to explain the truth behind Khalistan.
Some countries have been reluctant to act against pro-Khalistani extremists involved in the vandalisation of Hindu temples and statues of Indian leaders. The UK government announced a new funding of 95,000 pounds (around Rs 1 crore) to enhance the country’s capability to tackle pro-Khalistan extremism.
In a strong message against Khalistani elements, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who is currently in Delhi for the G20 summit, said that “no form of violence or extremism” was acceptable in the country.
