USA Midday Today – Sikhs To Rally In Washington DC During Trump-Modi Summit

WASHINGTON DC, USA—With the support of Sikh Gurdwara committees from across the USA, Sikhs For Justice (SFJ) will stage a Punjab Independence Rally today, from 12:30 until 4:00 p.m., in Lafayette Park and on Pennsylvania Avenue.  The rally will coincide with the Modi-Trump summit taking place at that time in the White House.

Rallying against illegal detention and torture of Sikh political activists and the brutal killing of Sikh protestors by Indian police, Sikhs For Justice is leading the cause behind the Referendum 2020 Campaign calling for Sikh self-determination and the formation of a Sikh homeland in the Pinjab region of India.
 
Last week, SFJ representatives met with dozens of U.S. Congressmen, Senators and their staffs in an effort to urge the establishment of a Congressional delegation visit to Punjab to assess, report and apprise the U.S. Congress of the recent spate of human rights violations against the Sikh community.  In support of efforts to establish such a delegation, SFJ issued a full memorandum to every member of Congress.
 
“Since religious freedom functions at the core of American values, we have asked the members of the Congress to stand against the persecution of Sikhs under Modi regime,” said attorney Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, legal advisor to SFJ. “Sikhs in India are targeted for campaigning to restore their separate religious identity and their inalienable rights to self-determination.”
 
Today’s rally is open to the public.

  1. Pannun is a low class attorney , his landlord was telling me one day that he don’t even pay the rent for the office on time .

  2. Why we Rally during Indo -US Summit ?

    The difficulty with us is that we still miss our Ranjit Singhs Kingdom.
    A place where we were the law makers .
    Then in 1845 and 1848 the Britishers came and dismantled our Kingdom after the ANGLO -SIKH wars.
    They Britisher in the sub continent out of the dissolved kingdoms built two new Nation of India and Pakistan in 1947
    Both the new countries were given given part of that Ranjit Singh Kingdom .
    New pliant rulers were installed in the newly made countries .
    The leaders of these two countries still take orders from the EMPIRE .
    We still remember the Loss of our Kingdom by the EMPIRE.
    RSS and Modis were not around in 1848 when we lost our Kingdom.

  3. We Sikhs got to realise that our Kingdom was Dismantled in 1848 by the Empire and Mr Modi was not around that time.

  4. PM Modi has made Indian politics free from scams seen during the previous UPA Regime.
    Honesty is back into Indian Politics.
    He has also taken a firm stand against Pakistan.
    He is an good PM India has had after long period.
    Will be remembered for

    1) Demonetization
    2) Surgical Strikes
    3) GST

    India will shine under his Leadership.

  5. Proud of you modi sir , let people get jealous , you keep on doing what you need to do . These changars can only bark but can’t do nothing

  6. Please keep protesting against Modi and all his cohorts. No one should forget violation of human rights being carried under fake banner of protecting democracy. Also everyone should remember that this man was not allowed in this country for violation of human rights in Gujrat. He is being allowed now because he is a head of the state .

  7. Pannun should tell congressmen that he file fake asylum cases to make money . Did he tell he is cheating America by doing that. Did he tell to US congressman that SAD ( Amritsar) take bribe of 2lakh rupees to give letter to people that they belong to our party

    • Harish you are crying and whining too much on a sikh website. Your diaper needs to be changed. Or maybe your drinking enough cow piss every morning when you pray to your idols.

  8. Oh , whole world is shaken . That Sikhs are protesting , what a breaking news , oh my god . Bunch of unemployed , food stamps people will go there for $20 a day for protesting .

    • why should they care? Sikhs don’t possess any oil or a middle-class to sell rubbish to.

      That’s the only reason people let India get away with human rights breaches….SELL SELL SELL… then the Bamun looks at the West and says ‘if I buy the white man’s rubbish, I can be like him and he’ll accept me’
