Thousands gathered in New Zealand under the banner of the Khalistan Movement in a powerful demonstration against the atrocities committed against Sikhs in 1984.
The protest aimed to highlight the human rights violations and genocide perpetrated by the Indian government during this dark chapter in history.
Participants held Khalistan flags and chanted slogans denouncing the Indian government, emphasizing the urgent need for justice for the Sikh community. Leaders at the event called for the establishment of Khalistan, arguing that it is essential for the community's liberation from Indian rule.
During the protest, demonstrators also tore and discarded the Indian flag as a symbol of their dissent. They pledged to intensify the Khalistan Movement and bring international attention to the alleged conspiracies against Sikhs.
The rally served as a poignant reminder of the violent aftermath following the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in 1984, which resulted in the brutal killings of over 3,000 Sikhs in just three days. Properties were looted and destroyed, and numerous women faced horrific abuses. The Indian government had labeled these acts as public reactions, deflecting responsibility onto the people.
This protest in New Zealand reflects a growing global awareness and solidarity among Sikhs advocating for their rights and recognition of the injustices they have faced.
