More than 55,000 Canadian Sikhs voted in Calgary Khalistan Referendum at the Municipal Plaza voting centre — dedicated to nine pro-Khalistan Canadian Sikhs who were assassinated by the Indian army in armed conflict.
The first vote was cast by the family of Shaheed Dilawar Singh Babbar Jai, the human bomb who assassinated the then-Punjab chief minister Beant Singh in August 1995.
Hardeep Singh Nijjar’s family travelled especially from Surrey, British Columbia, in a show of support for the Calgary referendum.
Gurpatwant Singh Pannun — the New York attorney and founder of Sikhs For Justice (SFJ) — addressed the charged crowd and vowed to “bombard August 15 Independence Day with the Khalistan Referendum campaign from Red Fort to Ranchi.”
Pannun said that the SFJ, through a global referendum campaign, has equipped every Sikh household with a “powerful bomb that will only explode during Khalistan Referendum voting to liberate Punjab from Indian occupation”.
“The choice is yours, either kill your enemy or kill the Indian system,” asked Pannun to the roaring crowd of thousands waiting to cast vote in Khalistan Referendum.
