The Khalistan Referendum in NZ: A Call to End India’s Oppression

The ongoing Khalistan referendum sends a clear and powerful message to India: stop persecuting Sikhs. Today, the referendum for a separate Sikh homeland is taking place in Aotea Square, Auckland, New Zealand. Despite India’s relentless pressure, New Zealand has allowed Sikhs for Justice to hold this vote, a move that has enraged Indian authorities.

India’s efforts to suppress the Khalistan referendum have been futile. Even after enormous pressure from Prime Minister Modi, New Zealand stood firm. The referendum has already taken place in the UK, Canada, and Australia, and the growing participation of Sikhs has rattled India.

This referendum isn’t just a symbolic gesture; it is a movement gaining momentum across the globe. Results will be presented to the United Nations and other international bodies, in a bid to rally global support for the creation of Khalistan. India cannot ignore the rising tide of voices calling for Sikh independence.

The reports stress that India must recognize the Sikh people’s birthright to freedom and self-determination. The Khalistan movement has become a global struggle, with Sikhs around the world uniting for their homeland. It’s a fight for justice, for recognition of their historic and cultural identity, and for an end to decades of abuse.

India’s treatment of Sikhs since 1947 has been nothing short of systematic persecution. From the massacre of Sikhs during Operation Blue Star to the atrocities of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, the oppression has been brutal and continuous. It’s this very persecution that has fueled the demand for Khalistan, a demand that refuses to die.

For Sikhs, the Khalistan movement is not a passing fancy—it is an unbreakable promise. It is the dream and birthright of every Sikh. Their struggle for independence is etched in blood, and they will not stop until they achieve their goal. The world must acknowledge this fact: the Sikh desire for a homeland is real, and it is undeniable.

India can try to suppress the Khalistan referendum, but it cannot erase the longing for freedom that runs deep in the hearts of millions of Sikhs. This movement is unstoppable. The day is fast approaching when the world will no longer ignore the Sikh struggle for an independent homeland. India’s oppression of Sikhs will no longer go unchallenged.
