#KhalistanReferendumInAuckland
Islamabad: The Khalistan referendum sends a strong message to India to end its persecution of Sikhs.
A report released by Kashmir Media Service, today, said a referendum for a separate Sikh homeland is taking place at Aotea Square in Auckland, New Zealand, today.
It said to India’s dismay, New Zealand has permitted Sikhs for Justice to hold the Khalistan referendum in Auckland. Despite India’s pressure, Modi failed to halt the Sikh referendum in New Zealand, it added.
The report said the Khalistan referendum has already taken place in the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia. It said massive participation of Sikhs in referendums for their homeland has unnerved India.
Results of the Khalistan referendum will be shared with the United Nations and international bodies to build global support for a separate Sikh homeland, it maintained.
The report said India must recognize Sikhs’ birthright to freedom and independence as the Khalistan movement continues to inspire Sikhs worldwide in their struggle for an independent homeland.
It lamented that Sikhs have faced systematic persecution by successive Indian governments since 1947 and their oppression in India has fueled their movement for a separate homeland.
The demand for Khalistan is the dream and birthright of every Sikh
and they will not rest until they achieve independence from India as the Sikh struggle for an independent homeland has been written in their blood, the report maintained.
