*SIKH PA 5 YEAR HIGHLIGHTS* To mark #5YearsOfSikhPA we share with you this brief glimpse into some of the highlights of our work. We wish to thank everyone that's been part of our journey, one with Maharaj's kirpa we will continue for a long time yet! youtu.be/srSVkrlcCdk

The graphics relay how the Sikh child was coerced into leaving home and what it took to find her, which authorities were unable to do. Sikh Youth UK are holding a national grooming inquiry, correlating with plans for a government inquiry. See more info: sikhinquiry.co.uk

Recently, UK Sikhs took to the streets AGAIN regarding a grooming case involving a missing child. Here we share graphics from @ActivistsUk which detail "police failure" around the case and why grassroots efforts were required to bring a 13-year-old home from over 100miles away.

Do you stand with Gurpreet Singh or will you turn a blind eye? They froze every asset, blocked every bank account, stripped every income source, removed his director status, forced him into debt and branded him a terrorist without a single charge or court case. #sikhactivismsilenced #sikhactivism #sikhyouth #punjab

Original Reporting | Sikh Man Killed In Brazen Highway Shooting Near Edmonton "'The two white men waved at us, and we waved back,' he said, adding that moments later the truck moved behind them and 'opened fire' before fleeing the scene." 🔗baaznews.org/p/birinder-sin…

A 22-year-old Sikh man was shot dead by a vehicle of white males near Edmonton (Alberta) this week, in a murder his friends believe was "due to brown skin". This is not the first time a Sikh man has been killed "at random" in Canada in recent years. Read: sikhpa.com/hate-crime-sus…

.@USCIRF's 2026 report urges the U.S. to designate India a Country of Particular Concern & impose targeted sanctions on individuals & entities linked to religious freedom violations, including RAW & RSS, while increasing scrutiny of transnational repression against religious minorities.

“The Sangh is, above all else, a chameleon” Australia-based academic Felix Pal to @snigspeak on database listing 200+ RSS-linked orgs abroad. A first-ever map of the #RSS network reveals their “concrete, traceable, material ties leading to the Sangh” article-14.com/post/the-rss-d…

@LBC This arrest is related to a video where Kapoor brandished a Kirpan. Sikhs fought valiantly and loyally in the World Wars, many giving their lives in the service of Britain and the values we all hold dear. Because of that sacrifice and the gallantry shown, practising Sikhs today have a legal defence to the offence of carrying a bladed article when they carry a Kirpan for genuine religious purposes. But that is the limit of the protection. The moment someone uses it to threaten or harm others, they are treated exactly the same as anyone else carrying a blade — as they should be. This provision exists in the best tradition of British fairness and equity, and it is something the Sikh community values and respects deeply, including the clear limits that come with it. No one — Sikh or otherwise — has the right to threaten people with a blade, religious or not. What Kapoor did is un-Sikh, un-British, and quite likely illegal. This is not even a question of free speech. People can ignore his social media posts because he is expressing his views and, for the most part, he stays on the right side of the law. But literally threatening to kill someone crosses a very clear red line.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) claims that it has fulfilled all the guarantees it made to the people of Punjab. However, the people of Punjab also deserve an answer regarding one important promise that Arvind Kejriwal made to the Sikh community before the elections. He had promised that those responsible for the 2015 sacrilege incidents, the Behbal Kalan firing, and the Maur bomb blast would be given strict punishment. At that time, Arvind Kejriwal had said, “Until the accused are given exemplary punishment, this chain of sacrilege incidents will not stop.” Today, however, your government appears to be siding with those very accused and protecting them.

International conference titled “Countering Indian Transnational Repression: Sikh Resistance and the United Nations” has kicked off in Geneva, Switzerland, alongside the 61st session of the UN Human Rights Council, focusing on issues related to transnational repression by the Indian government and the protection of the human rights of Sikhs and other minorities. @SikhFedUK @UN @genevapressclub

In Indian occupied Punjab, the Indian government and police are committing atrocities on Sikhs. I request President @realDonaldTrump to pay attention to India and liberate the Sikhs as well. Sikh genocide continues in India even today.@WhiteHouse @StateDept

Bibi Bimal Kaur Khalsa: The Sherni who turned her grief into a revolutionary force. After the martyrdom of Bhai Beant Singh,she defied the Indian state & led the Panth with unwavering courage.A true symbol of Sikh women’s leadership in the struggle for Khalistan.#BibiBimalKaur

The RCMP has revealed a disturbing structure behind Indian interference in Canada. According to investigators: • Indian consular officials allegedly collected intelligence on individuals in Canada • That information was passed through intelligence channels in India • Organized crime networks like the Bishnoi Gang were used as intermediaries • Contract operatives were then tasked with carrying out attacks in Canada The RCMP has stated that the Bishnoi Gang, a listed terrorist organization, is linked to and takes direction from the Government of India. Canada’s Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs also testified that India’s Home Minister, Amit Shah, was involved in directing the targeting of Sikhs in Canada. Those targeted were not only Sikh activists, but also Canadian political figures, including NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh. Police have issued more than a dozen “Duty to Warn” notices to Sikh activists about credible threats to life. Canada cannot look away from these facts or bury them for the sake of doing business with India. Foreign repression, violence, and intimidation have no place in this country.

“Does a new world order mean trade without accountability?” — Jaskaran Sandhu at Sikh Orgs Press Conference At our joint press conference in BC, WSO Regional President for Alberta Jaskaran Sandhu delivered a clear warning on the escalating threat of state-sponsored violence in Canada. Responding to Mark Carney’s remarks at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Jaskaran was direct: the first duty of any government is to protect its people. Renewing ties without accountability with a state implicated in targeting Canadians undermines that duty. “Trade without the safety and security of your own people?” This is not a “Sikh issue.” This is a Canadian issue.

🔥 EXCLUSIVE 🎯 Pro-Khalistan Sikhs Confront PM Carney in Australia — “No Trade with Modi Until Justice for Shaheed Nijjar” Prime Minister Carney was confronted by pro-Khalistan Sikhs who held a “Justice for Shaheed Nijjar” rally outside the Lowy Institute in Sydney, demanding accountability before Canada advances any trade with India. “We are here to remind Prime Minister Carney that you are pursuing a trade deal with the Modi regime that directed the assassination of Khalistan Referendum organizer Shaheed Hardeep Singh Nijjar — a Canadian citizen — on Canadian soil,” said rally participants. The rally was organized by Sikhs For Justice (SFJ) to demand justice and accountability for the assassination of Shaheed Nijjar before any expansion of Canada–India trade relations.

“The main thing is that he was so dedicated. He had no wish to be in front of the camera or to be appreciated in front of the people. Any problem he had the solution. If I tell him, ‘Avtar, this is what happened,’ (he replied) “Don't worry, brother. We'll find a solution.’”

In the alleged fake police encounter case of Ranjit Singh, the Punjab and Haryana High Court has now taken suo motu notice. Punjab’s history has a long list of fake and staged police encounters. The pain of these incidents still lives in people’s hearts across generations. Many such encounters were allegedly fabricated in a manner that destroyed the youth of Punjab, and even today a long chain of related cases continues to exist in the courts. The police encounters that have taken place during the government of Bhagwant Mann should also be thoroughly investigated. In the past few months, around 42 police encounters have reportedly taken place, and the narratives describing them appear almost identical, raising serious questions. It is very important that the truth behind these incidents comes to light.
