Hundreds of Sikh activists from North America staged a rally in front of the UN Headquarters in New York on Tuesday — India’s Independence Day — to demand independence for the Indian Punjab as they raised the “Khalistan” flag. In the rally the protestors highlighted Indian atrocities on the Sikh community like the Operation Blue Star in 1984 which severely damaged the Golden Temple in Amritsar, the holiest Sikh shrine. The protestors demanded from the UN their separate homeland “Khalistan” and to stop Indian brutal acts against Sikhs in India.
A delegation of Sikh activists also submitted to UN officials a report 'A Case For Punjab Referendum 2020 — Sikhs Right to Self-Determination — Why and How?'.
The report by advocacy group Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), addressed to Secretary General Antonio Guterres, urged the UN to support the demand of Sikhs for holding a referendum in Punjab for "realisation of their right to self-determination".
