U.S.-based group Sikhs for Justice is mobilizing members of its diaspora to vote in what it describes as a referendum, including one scheduled in Surrey, B.C., on Sunday to create an independent Sikh homeland in northern India called Khalistan.
Asked by CBC News whether he has any concerns about the security of voter information that is being collected, Pannun said he does not.What happens after?
"You don't hold [a] referendum outside in diaspora to establish a country. In the history of mankind, it has never happened. It will never happen," Purewal said. Later that year, in October, following the assassination of then-prime minister Indira Gandhi by her two Sikh bodyguards, riots against the minority group in Delhi and elsewhere led to attacks against Sikhs.
In Canada, a group of Sikh separatists came under suspicion after the bombing of Air India Flight 182 on June 23, 1985, which killed 329 people travelling from Toronto to Mumbai through London. Another bomb that went off at Tokyo's Narita Airport killed two baggage handlers. Only one man, Inderjit Singh Reyat, was ever convicted in the case.
