Sikhs hold Khalistan Referendum in Canada
A vote for a new state in Indian Punjab was participated in by thousands of Sikhs in Canada. The Indian government made fruitless attempts to get Canada to act against the rising pro-Khalistan sentiments.
By participating in the Khalistan Referendum, the Sikh community in Canada reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the cause.
Sikhs have stoked the global Khalistan movement in response to Indian authorities’ attempts to silence them for the ideal period of time. Similar gatherings have been scheduled by Sikhs around Europe, including Britain, under the name of Justice for Justice.
Voting took place in Rome, the Italian capital, where 200,000 Sikhs have long lived. Many young people and women also joined in. People were waving flags and yelling anti-Modi and anti-ruthless Indian army chants. It is clear that Sikhs are passionate about having their own country.
The Sikhs have been pleading with India to free Khalistan and with the UN to condemn the crimes. They used the lawful and legitimate referendum process. Sidhu Musa Wala, a singer who was a strong supporter of freedom, was killed by Indian agents, according to Paramjit Singh, the founder of Sikhs for Justice.

On the day of the referendum, a new map of Khalistan—the proposed Sikh homeland—was also made public. It shows that in addition to Punjab, the proposed Khalistan would also cover the majority of the districts in Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh.
At least seven nations, including the UK and Switzerland, have successfully held referendums in favor of the creation of Khalistan, and these votes are being monitored by independent international organizations.
The Gore Meadows Community Center in Brampton, Ontario, held the first Candida on the foundation of Khalistan on Sunday in Toronto. After a special prayer, voting started. The voting line was crowded with women and senior citizens.
