Washington: The United States permitted the Khalistan referendum to proceed in Seattle, despite opposition from India and rising global tensions over attacks on Sikh leaders abroad, with over 27,000 Sikh voters participating.
According to Global Mirror, the referendum, organized by Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), is part of a global movement seeking independence for Sikhs. This event has heightened tensions between India and the global Sikh diaspora, with India facing accusations of targeting Sikh leaders overseas.
Voting officially began on Sunday morning at 9 a.m. local time, with organisers ensuring all necessary facilities, including food and refreshments, were provided for the attendees.
