Canadian Khalistan Referendum voting includes over 200,000 Sikhs

• Canadian Khalistan Referendum voting includes over 200,000 Sikhs.
• PRC is in charge of overseeing the Khalistan Referendum voting campaign.
• The PRC will make an announcement regarding the results.

The Khalistan Referendum held in Surrey British Columbia, was attended by almost 200,000 Sikh Canadians. It was organized in memory of Sikh leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar, who was killed on June 18 by Indian agents outside the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara.

General Counsel Gurpatwant Singh Pannun of Sikhs For Justice (SFJ) stated virtually that the killing of Nijjar had shown India to the world as a state that supports terrorism following the vote on October 29.

Pannun declared, “This is a war between Punjab and India in which the occupying force is using the violence while Sikhs are using the votes. SFJ is not taking down India with the bullets at this time, instead we are using ballots, the most potent weapon of this century to kill the Indian system which is responsible for the genocide of tens of thousands of Sikhs.”

Pannun stated, “Over 60,000 strong turn out of voters in Phase II defied Narendra Modi government’s terror tactics to stop the Khalistan Referendum voting by stopping visas, cancelling identity and travel cards and threats of singling out family members of Khalistan supporters in Punjab.”

Around 140,000 Sikhs from Canada participated in the referendum’s initial phase in September of this year at the same Gurdwara. A second phase was conducted on October 29 due to the fact that thousands of individuals were not able to vote at the time.

Following a vote, the assembly approved two resolutions: first, in light of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s claim in Parliament that Indian agents are responsible for the death of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, Indian High Commissioner to Canada, Mr. Sanjay Verma, should be detained and charged for planning and supervising Nijjar’s murder; second, to guarantee that Verma is held accountable for the murder of a Canadian citizen, the Sikhs For Justice will invoke the Canadian law’s “Citizen’s Arrest” clause, for which SFJ has set aside $100,000; and third, in order to hold Delhi accountable for the genocide against Sikhs and the assault on Sikhism, SFJ unveiled a new map that extends the boundaries of the Sikh homeland to include Delhi, the capital of India, as part of Khalistan.

The SFJ declared that it will hold a referendum vote in Abbotsford, Edmonton, Calgary, and Montreal the following year, though it did not specify a date in addition.

Pannun stated: “While the October 29 voting centre in Surrey BC was dedicated to Shaheed Nijjar who sacrificed his life struggling for the liberation of Punjab through the Khalistan Referendum, the upcoming voting centres will be dedicated to Shaheed Ravinder Singh Pannu, Shaheed Bhupinder Singh Kooner, and Shaheed Balbir Singh Khaira, all Canadian Sikhs, to honour their sacrifice during the armed phase of Khalistan movement.”

Nijjar was shot dead outside the same Sikh temple on Sunday during the second part of the Khalistan Referendum in Surrey, a Vancouver suburb with a sizable Sikh community. Nijjar supported the referendum in his final speech, which he gave just before he was killed. Nijjar was an advocate for a Sikh homeland in Punjab.

Nijjar was close to Pannun and served as Chief Coordinator of the Khalistan Referendum campaign in Canada.

The independent Punjab Referendum Commission (PRC) is in charge of overseeing the Khalistan Referendum voting campaign.

The PRC will make an announcement regarding the results. Voting began in London on October 31, 2021, and has since taken place in a number of places in the UK, Switzerland, Italy, Australia, and Canada once all phases have been completed.
