Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has expressed \u0022strong concerns\u0022 over Canada\u0027s handling of the Punjabi independence movement.
Pannun said the turnout is a “clear message” that activists are committed to a “peaceful and democratic” process for the group’s goal of seeking Punjabi independence from India.
The goal, he said, is to gather all overseas votes by 2025 and present the case to the United Nations for an official referendum on Punjabi independence from India. However, some activists have called on supporters in Canada to “besiege” India’s diplomatic missions, offering cash rewards for the home addresses of its diplomats.
Canada and India last month paused ongoing talks for a bilateral trade deal and negotiations have been on and off since 2010. Sikh vote organizers say they have been unfairly portrayed by India, saying their referendum poster — showing a pen stabbing a gun representing the Indian government — is a pro-peace, pro-democracy image showing the group’s commitment to voting and non-violent actions.Article content
