PRESS RELEASE: Biden Must Confront India’s Assault on Sikh Activists

We are deeply unsettled by the revelations made public by Canadian authorities. India poses a grave threat to Sikhs in the United States - a threat that Biden must confront.

Sikh Americans burned the Indian Flag in front of the San Francisco India Consulate in protest of India’s transnational assassination program.

India has violently suppressed minority communities including Christians, Sikhs, Muslims & Dalits without international scrutiny.

THROWBACK: Zohran Mamdani’s speech while attending the World Sikh Parliament Session in New York City.

During his speech he stressed the importance of protecting free speech from the encroaching threat of increasingly authoritarian India.

The largest Sikh gathering in the United States passed a resolution in support of Bhai Amritpal Singh.

Amritpal Singh is an elected member of parliament yet he continues to be arbitrarily imprisoned under the draconian National Security Act.

My piece in the Sacramento Bee - on how Trump’s new trucking policies are haphazard, unwise and plainly discriminatory.

Thousands of Sikh political asylees are facing a potentially catastrophic debt crisis.

BREAKING: Governor Gavin Newsom has vetoed SB509, a bill that would have trained law enforcement to counter transnational repression by foreign governments.

Indian groups aligned with the Indian government successfully lobbied to kill the bill.

[Karm S Brar @karmsinghca]

Gov. Newsom surrendered to Indian pressure & vetoed SB509, a bill aimed to train law enforcement to combat transnational repression by foreign governments.

Hindu groups aligned with the Indian government lobbied hard to kill it.

Maybe Newsom should run for President of India?

850 days behind bars and Bhai Amritpal Singh’s name still echoes louder than ever. Some voices can’t be silenced - they only grow stronger with time.

Longtime Sikh Activist Bapu Surat Singh has passed away.

Surat Singh began his hunger-strike in 2015 for the release Sikh political prisoners. He was routinely detained & force fed by Indian authorities. He was 91 years old.

Pacific Coast Khalsa Diwan Society established 1912, delivered a truck-load of supplies collected by the Sikh community to aid first responders in the LA fires.

With an unanimous 7-0 vote, we’d like to congratulate Jasjit Singh (@Jasjit4Sac) for being elected to serve as President of Sacramento City Unified School District.

Incredibly disappointing move by @realDonaldTrump to nominate Kash Patel and Tulsi Gabbard for critical national security roles. Their allegiance to India's interests over America's is no secret. This decision is a serious misstep that needs to be corrected before any real harm unfolds.

PRESS RELEASE: Lehar International Statement on nominations of Tulsi Gabbard & Kash Patel

The recent appointments, both with documented ties to Hindu nationalist organizations, reflect the encroachment of dangerous ideologues into pivotal roles.

“This comes amidst a rapidly changing global order as human rights atrocities in Gaza test the limits of international diplomacy. Pannun’s case is a test for the U.S., does the international rules-based order extend to allies that the U.S is attempting to court?”
