🚨 “We should have a choice. Freedom is having a choice. To rule is in our blood. People are being targeted, and bounties placed on their heads. The encounters have started again.” — Khalistan Referendum voter in Indianapolis.
Next Khalistan Referendum: Oct 18, 2026, Alberta 🇨🇦
If Sikh youngsters were denied entry at Cool Mama restaurant in Austria simply because they were wearing turbans, then this is not a “policy” or a “misunderstanding” - it is blatant racism and religious discrimination. The Sikh turban, or pagg, is a symbol of faith, dignity, courage and identity, recognised and respected across the world. At a time when Sikhs are serving, leading and contributing in countries across the globe, treating someone as unwelcome because of their turban is shameful, unacceptable and deeply disturbing. Europe cannot preach equality and human rights while allowing people to be humiliated for wearing their faith with pride. #StopRacism #SikhTurban #Austria

This afternoon I visited Edmonton's Nanaksar Gurdwara to share best wishes with the community following today's terrible violent attack.
In the midst of worship, 2 people were stabbed and Guru Granth Sahib Ji was targeted.
The person arrested for the attack had just been released from prison. (He is now back in police custody).
This tragic event highlights the importance of combatting anti-Sikh hate and all forms of hate, and of addressing the problems with a justice system that saw someone immediately reoffend after being released.
This Gurdwara is located just outside my constituency, but serves many families in Sherwood Park-Fort Saskatchewan and throughout the Edmonton area. My thoughts are with them.
As your Member of Parliament, I will always defend the right of people to pray and practice their faith in freedom and security.
Hindutva Extremism and RSS in Canada
Hindutva extremism is a growing concern in Canada. At a time when communities are already facing intimidation, polarization and foreign interference, allowing RSS leader Mohan Bhagwat into Canada raises serious concerns.
The RSS is a Hindu nationalist paramilitary organization whose early ideologues expressed admiration for aspects of Nazi Germany. Giving its leader a platform in Canada risks legitimizing an ideology that has contributed to division and hostility toward minority communities.
Canada must take the threat of Hindutva extremism seriously. Mohan Bhagwat and the RSS should not be given a platform to spread their divisive ideology in Canada.
“India’s narrative — transmitted through its consulates and officials working in tandem with Indo-Canadian Hindutva followers to portray Canadian Sikhs as ‘terrorists’ — radicalized, weaponized and enabled the Edmonton Gurdwara attack.” — Gurpatwant Singh Pannun SFJ General Counsel
PRO-KHALISTAN GROUP OFFERS TO FUND 24/7 SECURITY FOR EDMONTON AND CALGARY GURDWARAS — CALLS FOR “RADICALIZATION” PROBE INTO ATTACK
— Sikhs For Justice (SFJ) a global Khalistan advocacy group condemns the violent attack inside Nanaksar Gurdwara in Edmonton, Alberta, which left two Sikh worshippers injured.
SFJ OFFERS TO FUND 24/7 GURDWARA SECURITY
In response to the Edmonton attack, SFJ Canada has offered to engage and fund 24/7 professional security for Gurdwaras in Edmonton and Calgary, should their respective management committees desire the additional protection.
SFJ General Counsel Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, in previous communiqués to the Carney Government, has warned that India’s sustained narrative-building — portraying Canadian Sikhs as “terrorists,” “extremists” and national-security threats — is “JEOPARDIZING” the safety and security of the Canadian Sikhs.
For years, this narrative has been transmitted from the highest levels of the Indian state — Prime Minister Narendra Modi, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, Indian diplomats and officials — and amplified by major Indian media and Hindutva-aligned networks.
The Edmonton Gurdwara attack makes those warnings impossible to ignore.
Pannun stated:
“When Modi, Jaishankar, Indian diplomats and their media echo chamber repeatedly portray Canadian Sikhs and Khalistan supporters as ‘terrorists’ and ‘extremists,’ they create an information environment capable of turning political propaganda into radicalization and radicalization into violence.”
SFJ calls upon the Carney Government, RCMP, CSIS and Edmonton Police to investigate the attacker’s digital footprint, social-media activity and ideological influences to determine whether India-originated anti-sikh propaganda and its amplification in Canada contributed to the radicalization of the attacker.
“Who radicalized the Edmonton Gurdwara attacker? What propaganda did he consume? Canadian authorities must investigate whether the Modi regime’s sustained ‘Sikh = Terrorist’ narrative played any role in the attacker’s radicalization,” Pannun stated.
As part of its global campaign, SFJ is organizing the next Khalistan Referendum voting in Edmonton, Alberta, on 18 October 2026, where Canadian Sikhs will be asked to vote on the sovereignty question:
“Should Indian-Governed Punjab Be an Independent Country?”
Panjabi blood is martial blood, look at any war history of independent India, the bravery of the Sikhs is written on every page. That is why the Indian Army is repeatedly appealing to Panjabi youth to join the army.
