NEW YORK
Pro-Khalistan advocacy group “Sikhs For Justice” (SFJ) has vowed to liberate Punjab from Indian occupation as registration is being started for “Referendum 2020” next month, PPI news agency reported.
Registration for “Team 2020” will be started from Gurdwara Panja Sahib, Hasan Abdal, Pakistan where thousands of Sikh pilgrims from Punjab and across the world will be visiting to pay obeisance during the 320th Khalsa Sajna Divas next month, announced by the Sikh leaders at the Convention held in New York.
“Team 2020” will be responsible to propagate, organize and manage Khalistan Referendum in November 2020 under the supervision of a team of international lawyers and referendum experts, said legal advisor to SFJ Gurpatwant Singh Pannun.
Referendum 2020 Convention in New York was attended by thousands of Sikh activists who vowed to support the campaign for Khalistan.
“At Panja Sahib SFJ will launch a Social media portal for registration of “Team 2020” which will facilitate Sikh activists across the globe to join hands to organize November 2020 Khalistan Referendum”, stated attorney Gurpatwant Singh Pannun.
Reiterating Punjab Independence Referendum 2020 is a peaceful democratic campaign for right to self-determination through “ballot not bullet”, attorney Pannun further stated, “Referendum 2020 is a community financed non-violent secessionist movement and resistance against occupation of Punjab”.
“While SFJ is running a democratic campaign from its offices in New York, Toronto, London, Sydney and now from Lahore, India is targeting the Referendum activists and arresting them under trumped up charges of terrorism to defame Khalistan 2020 Referendum” stated attorney Pannun.
“SFJ resolve is to counter every move of the Indian authorities to maliciously label the indigenous peoples’ campaigns for right to self determination as terrorism”, added attorney Pannun.
SFJ in its London Declaration has announced to hold the first ever non-binding referendum among the global Sikh community on the question of secession from India and reestablishing Punjab as an independent country.
In November 2020, SFJ announced to hold the polling for referendum the polling will be held in major cities of North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Kenya and the Middle Eastern Countries and Indian governed Punjab. (PPI)
I do enjoy the way you have presented this specific challenge and it does indeed offer me some fodder for consideration. Nevertheless, from just what I have seen, I simply just hope when the actual responses pile on that individuals stay on point and in no way embark on a soap box regarding the news du jour. Yet, thank you for this fantastic piece and whilst I can not agree with it in totality, I regard the perspective.
