Referendum 2020 asks Sikhs living across the world to build a consensus in favour of Khalistan and sign a declaration for the formation of a sovereign and independent country in âIndia-occupied Punjabâ on the basis that Sikhs are the indigenous people of Punjab and have a historical homeland, are a separate religion and have the right to self-determination.
This is being done under article 1 of charter of the United Nations. âAfter an unofficial referendum in 2020, we plan to ask United Nations to get it done officially,â says SFJ leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannun. The referendum also asks Sikhs to reject article 25(b)(2) of Constitution that says Sikhs are a part of Hindu religion
Earlier Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Saturday condemned the statement of Aam Aadmi Party leader Sukhpal Singh Khairaâs for supporting the Referendum 2020 that aims for Punjab to secede from the Indian Union.
