India's Threat of Surgical Strike On American Citizen Sikhs for Justice General Counsel puts Trump Administration On Notice. "Despite getting threats of assassination, I am going to continue my legally protected advocacy for Khalistan Referendum. First Khalistan Referendum Voting In Trump's America will be held on March 23, 2025 in Los Angeles, CA. If I am assassinated, India's Modi Government should be held responsible". Transcript of SFJ Video: 📹 IN TRUMP’S AMERICA – Modi’s India Plots “Surgical Strike” Assassination of Sikh Separatist Lawyer I am Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, General Counsel for Sikhs For Justice (SFJ), a human rights organization leading the Khalistan Referendum for Punjab’s independence. The Modi regime has openly called for my assassination. Indian government-backed media and social media platforms are openly discussing plans for my extrajudicial killing under the guise of a “surgical strike.” These threats began under President Biden and continue under President Trump. India’s attempt to carry out a political assassination on U.S. soil is a direct act of transnational terrorism and a challenge to America’s sovereignty. Indian media is now openly declaring: “Pannun will be killed before the end of 2025.” I am bringing this assassination plot to the immediate attention of: •President Donald Trump •Secretary Marco Rubio •Department of Homeland Security (DHS) • Department of Justice (DOJ) •Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) •Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) @POTUS @Sec_Noem @StateDept @SecRubio @USDOJ_Intl @FBI @SDNYnews If I am assassinated on U.S. soil or anywhere else, the following Indian officials will be directly responsible: •Prime Minister Narendra Modi •Home Minister Amit Shah •Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar •National Security Advisor Ajit Doval •Indian Ambassador to the U.S., Vinay Kwatra •India’s Foreign Secretary, Vikram Misri KHALISTAN REFERENDUM – WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED Despite threats to my life, the first Khalistan Referendum vote in Trump’s America will take place on March 23 in Los Angeles. I am prepared to face India’s bullets, but I will never surrender my legally protected right to advocate for Sikhs’ right to self-determination—Khalistan. No amount of fear, intimidation, or violence will stop the Khalistan Referendum from moving forward and liberating Punjab from Modi’s India.

BREAKING 🚨 Modi Government’s Direct Hand in the Killing of Ripudaman Singh Malik EXPOSED VANCOUVER, BC (January 28, 2025) - Pro-Khalistan group Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) has accused the Indian government of orchestrating the assassination of Ripudaman Singh Malik, likening the killing to a cold and calculated act of state-sponsored terrorism. Following the guilty pleas of shooters Tanner Fox and Jose Lopez in a Surrey court, SFJ has drawn alarming parallels between Malik’s assassination and the murder of Shaheed Hardeep Singh Nijjar, both of which they claim were carried out by hired operatives under orders from senior Indian officials. Recent court developments revealed that Fox and Lopez admitted to being hired and paid to murder Malik outside his Surrey business in July 2022. SFJ asserts that this method of using paid assassins reflects a disturbing pattern of targeted killings aimed at silencing pro-Khalistan voices, with the ultimate masterminds being key figures in the Indian government. SFJ has long alleged that senior Indian officials orchestrated these assassinations. In Malik’s case, the group claims that the then Indian High Commissioner to Canada, Sanjay Verma, and former Consul General of India in Vancouver, Amarjit, facilitated and funded the operation. SFJ further alleges that these killings were ordered by National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and Home Minister Amit Shah as part of a larger campaign to suppress Sikh activism abroad. “These murders are not isolated incidents—they are deliberate acts of terror carried out by Indian state operatives on Canadian soil,” said Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, General Counsel to SFJ. The group has called on Canadian authorities to launch a full investigation into the involvement of Indian officials and to hold those responsible accountable for their actions. SFJ warns that until justice is served, Canada’s sovereignty and the safety of its citizens will remain under threat from foreign interference.

SFJ's Commendation Letter to PM Trudeau On: - Uphold the Canadian Sovereignty; - Standing Up Against Modi Govt's Violent Transnational Repression; and - Allowing Khalistan Referendum In Canada. Dear Prime Minister As you prepare to step down, we wish to commend your bold and principled leadership in defending Canada’s sovereignty and standing up to foreign interference which is threatening the lives and freedoms of Canadian citizens. On this account, your historic decision to publicly expose India’s involvement in the assassination of Shaheed Hardeep Singh Nijjar and expel Indian High Commissioner Sanjay Verma sent a resounding message: Canada will not tolerate violations of its laws, sovereignty, or democratic values. Your courage in confronting Prime Minister Modi’s regime was not just about one individual case but a principled stance to protect all Canadian lives from foreign threats. In September 2023, by linking the Indian government directly to Nijjar’s tragic assassination, you brought global attention to India’s violent transnational repression and asserted Canada’s unwavering commitment to justice and human rights. We must also commend your government for allowing Khalistan Referendum - a non-violent and democratic expression of political opinion by Canadian Sikhs, to freely take place in Canada, despite mounting pressure from Modi Government and vested Indo Canadian Hindu lobbies in Canada. However, despite your best efforts, India’s machinery of repression remains active even today. With recent revelations of the “India-Russia Terror Nexus” underscoring New Delhi’s efforts to hack, track, and eliminate Sikh activists in Canada and elsewhere, it becomes evident that Modi government continues to target pro-Khalistan Sikhs in Canada and globally, necessitating an ongoing and steadfast response.

FLASHBACK Sept 22, 1965 ZA Bhutto In UN Security Council : Indian Occupied Kashmir, A Disputed Territory: "..... Jammu and Kashmir is not an integral part of India and has never been an integral part of India...." (Watch Historical Footage). @PakistanPR_UN @PakistanUN_NY @MIshaqDar50 6 January 2025 - SFJ Communique To Prime Minister of Pakistan Re: Pakistan’s Election to UN Security Council Seat Sub:Support The Right to Self-Determination through Referendum For People Of Indian Occupied Punjab and Kashmir. Honorable Prime Minister: Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) ( is an international human rights advocacy group which believes in and adheres to UN Charter and works to promote the Right To Self Determination and human rights as enshrined in Universal Declaration of Human Rights (“UDHR”) and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. To this end, SFJ is holding the first ever global non-governmental Khalistan Referendum under the supervision of a nonaligned panel of experts - the Punjab Referendum Commission - on the question “Should Indian Governed Punjab Be An Independent Country?”. We are writing to extend our warmest congratulations to you and the nation of Pakistan on Pakistan’s successful election to a seat in the United Nations Security Council. This significant achievement reflects Pakistan’s dedication to international peace, justice, and the principles enshrined in the UN Charter. Your recent statement reaffirming the right to self-determination for the people of Kashmir through the plebiscite as prescribed in UNSC Resolution 21 of 1948 is both timely and commendable. It is a reminder to the international community of the moral and legal imperative to support oppressed peoples’ right to seek freedom and justice. While unequivocally supporting the right self-determination for the people of Kashmir through UN backed plebiscite to which India has reneged on, SFJ urges your government to consider extending its support to the Sikh community’s ongoing quest for self-determination. The global referendum being organized by SFJ is a significant effort to highlight and advocate through peaceful and democratic means, their demand for a sovereign homeland Khalistan in the Indian Governed region of Punjab. We firmly believe that Pakistan’s leadership at the Security Council can pave the way for constructive dialogue and meaningful resolutions that uphold the right of all peoples to determine their own destiny and political future of their homeland. Pakistan’s support for Sikh people’s movement to achieve Khalistan through Referendum, will further strengthen Pakistan’s longstanding stance of right to self-determination for the people of Kashmir through a UN backed plebiscite.

Witnesses in Nijjar Case Face Threats: Attorney General Escalates Case to BC Supreme Court for Direct Trial by Indictment VANCOUVER, B.C. (November 25, 2024) — Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) commends the Attorney General for invoking Section 577 of the Criminal Code to safeguard witnesses in the Hardeep Singh Nijjar assassination case. The decision to advance the case directly to the BC Supreme Court under "Direct Trial by Indictment" reflects the seriousness of ongoing threats to the witnesses involved. "This decisive action by the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) underscores the grave dangers posed to witnesses by Indian proxies and agents operating within Canada," stated Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, SFJ General Counsel. "The assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar and subsequent threats to witnesses expose the pervasive influence of the Indian spy network, coordinated through consulates in Toronto and Vancouver." SFJ continues to call for the closure of Indian diplomatic missions in Canada, emphasizing the urgent need to limit the activities of Indian diplomats to their consular duties alone to mitigate risks to Canadian citizens and residents. Section 577 of the Criminal Code empowers the Attorney General or Deputy Attorney General to bypass a preliminary inquiry and proceed directly to trial. According to the Public Prosecution Service of Canada, this measure is reserved for circumstances where public interest is paramount. Key justifications include: - Witness Safety: Evidence suggests a reasonable basis to believe that the lives, safety, or security of witnesses, their families, or other justice system participants are at risk. Direct trial minimizes these risks by eliminating the preliminary inquiry stage. - Protection of Investigations: Direct indictment safeguards ongoing police operations and investigations critical to ensuring justice and public safety. SFJ urges Canadian authorities to remain vigilant and take further actions to dismantle external threats jeopardizing Canada’s justice system and the safety of pro Khalistan Sikhs.

Pro Khalistan Sikhs to Demonstrate at Hindu Mandirs in Ontario Against Life Certificate Camps by Indian Diplomats 23 Nov - Vaishno Devi Temple, Oakville, ON 30 November Lakshmi Narayn Mandir, Scarborough, ON Sikhs For Justice (SFJ) has announced peaceful demonstrations against “Life Certificate Camps” scheduled for November 23 at Vaishno Devi Temple in Oakville, ON, and November 30 at Lakshmi Narayan Mandir in Scarborough, ON, in response to ongoing foreign interference by Indian diplomats. These demonstrations follow the City of Brampton's recent passage of By-Law Number 173-2024, “Prohibiting Nuisance Demonstrations,” outside places of worship. Importantly, the by-law includes an exception under Part III, Section 6(b), permitting peaceful protests against foreign governments at places of worship. This provision ensures SFJ’s lawful right to protest. SFJ emphasizes that the protests target the actions of Indian diplomats—not worshippers or the places of worship themselves, including those of Hindu or other faiths. These rallies aim to expose the subversive activities of Indian diplomats operating under the guise of these camps. “Indian diplomats are using ‘Life Certificate Camps’ as a cover for intelligence-gathering and to pressure the Sikh community in Canada,” said Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, General Counsel for Sikhs for Justice. “Even after the expulsion of High Commissioner Sanjay Verma, Indian officials continue their covert operations, directed by Kapidhwaja Pratap Singh, Acting Consul General in Toronto, and Masakui Rungsung, Consul General in Vancouver.” SFJ has repeatedly warned Canadian authorities about these activities and called for immediate action against Indian diplomats undermining the safety and sovereignty of the Canadian Sikh community. SFJ reiterates that the demonstrations will be peaceful and lawful, focusing on challenging Indian government interference while upholding the rights and freedoms guaranteed to all Canadians. Additionally, SFJ urges the management committees of Hindu Temples and Gurdwara Sahibs to adhere to the Canadian Charter of Rights by disallowing Indian diplomats from conducting intelligence activities under the pretense of “Life Certificate Camps” at places of worship.
