In a demonstration of solidarity with farmers in India, a very large number of Sikhs gathered outside the Indian Embassy in Washington. The protesters, led by Sikh organizations, raised slogans and banners condemning the alleged injustices faced by farmers in India.
Amidst the chanting of slogans calling for justice, Sikhs placed Khalistan flags onto the statue of Mahatma Gandhi, symbolizing their discontent with the Indian government’s handling of the situation.
Dr. Bhakshish Singh Sandhu, representing the Sikh for Justice organization, spoke to the media, highlighting the reported use of force against farmers, including gunfire and tear gas.
The protest, marked by a peaceful yet passionate atmosphere, underscored the growing concern over the treatment of farmers in India.
Participants emphasized their demand for accountability and expressed the belief that Khalistan’s establishment is essential for addressing the grievances of farmers, particularly in the Punjab region.
The demonstration outside the Indian Embassy in Washington serves as a visible expression of solidarity and a call for action on behalf of Sikhs worldwide, resonating with ongoing global discussions surrounding agricultural reforms and human rights in India.
