NEW YORK – Amid rising tensions between nuclear-armed Pakistan and India, Sikh For Justice (SFJ), a U.S.-based human rights advocacy group, has given a call to Sikh soldiers serving the Indian Army to boycott what it called “India’s jingoistic war against Pakistan”, according to a press release issued on Wednesday.

It said SFJ has launched an online campaign asking Sikh soldiers “Not To Fight For Indian Army” because: the Indian constitution labels Sikhs as Hindus; Indian Army invaded Golden Temple in June 1984 and massacred thousands of Sikh pilgrims; the killing of more than 30,000 Sikhs in genocidal violence against the Sikhs throughout India in Nov 1984, and between 1984 to 1998, the killing of more than 150,000 Sikhs in extra-judicial encounters between 1984-1995 for demanding Khalistan, a separate homeland for Sikhs.

“Sikh soldiers should not lay their lives for India anymore and instead should support the campaign for a ‘Punjab Independence Referendum’ to create Sikh homeland Khalistan,’ Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, legal advisor to SFJ, said in a statement .”For long Sikh blood has been used by India, and now is the time that Sikh soldiers should stop serving the power which is responsible for the genocide Sikhs,” Pannun added.

SFJ said it will stage a demonstration in front of UN Headquarters in New York on October 11 against what it called India’s plans of turning Punjab into a battlefield. The “Save Punjab Rally” will demand UN intervention against the ongoing Indian military build-up in Punjab which has forced thousands of Sikh farmers to evacuate the area, the group said.

That's not entirely correct. Many Sikh's inside India still support Khalistan. InshAllah it will be reality one day.

Indians know this fact and will always open a front from Punjab side so willing or unwillingly the Sikhs have to get involved and we must not forget that the Sikhs have an eye for Lahore as well.

Anybody can campaign online. I dare JFS to come to India on diplomatic visa and say it to the Sikh regiments in person let's see what happens

I wish you could tell that to those "Indian Sikhs"..I'm sure your condition would be.....

 

[[Bregs]]

Sikh Regiment and Punjab regiments both are posted in J&K amidst the thick of tensions and flare ups at border so this group has no moral to guide them

Who are these "Sikh For Justice (SFJ), a U.S.-based human rights advocacy group".

Indian Sikhs are very patriotic, anyone doubting that should meet them in person, i am sure all of their doubts will be cleared.

 

[Rajaraja Chola]

I dare them to travel to Canada and tell it to any (Not the ones who went away decades back) Indian Sikh student and see the reaction. I dont need to give them patriotism certificate. Will let them find it.

Sikhs are becoming increasingly weary of Hindu raj, Sikhs are already looking for Khalistan state, and want support from world, funding, weapons and global political support.
