On the day before the Khalistan Referendum, a large rally was held in Surrey, British Columbia, with members of the Sikh community marching for a two-kilometre distance carrying Khalistan flags.
The rally was held against India and a centre for voting was established at the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara.
During the rally, the participants chanted slogans such as “Delhi bane ka khalasa,” “Lay keh Rahain gay khalasa,” “Punjab Banay Ga Khalistan” and “Azad Khalistan,” with enthusiasm and fervour.
The participants also demanded justice for Shaheed Hardeep Singh Nijjar, urging the authorities to take action against his killers.
The attendants appreciated the stance of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau who has publicly accused India of killing the Sikh leader and hunting several other Canadian Sikhs, condemning state terrorism by the Indian government that occurred within Canada.
Rally participants vowed to preserve the values and vision of Nijjar, who met a tragic end at the hands of Indian agents in June. They passionately chanted slogans such as “Hardeep Nijjar tera khatil kon? Hindustan, Hindustan!”
