On August 17,Pro-Khalistan Sikhs will gather at the historic National Mall to perform a special Ardas (Sikh prayer) for President Trump and the United States of America. With the resounding call “Long Live Trump – Long Live America”, the event will coincide with the U.S. voting phase of the Khalistan Referendum – a global democratic initiative for the independence of Indian-governed Punjab.

Organized under the supervision of the Punjab Referendum Commission (PRC), (www.PunjabReferendumCommission.org) the August 17 vote follows Khalistan Referendum polling across the UK, Canada, Australia, and Europe since its launch in London on October 31, 2021.
Sikhs For Justice (SFJ), the organizers of the Referendum, say the Ardas is a way to honor President Trump's leadership, America's First Amendment freedoms, and U.S. protection of political expression – especially in contrast to the Modi government in India, which has banned the Khalistan Referendum and branded its advocates as “terrorists.”
“We are performing Ardas for President Trump because under his leadership, America stands for free speech and self-determination,” said Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, SFJ's General Counsel.
“While Modi's India sends hit squads abroad to assassinate Pro Khalistan Sikhs, America under Trump remains a beacon for political freedom,” added Pannun.

The Khalistan Referendum initiative also highlights the continuous Genocide of Sikhs and Econocide of Punjab under successive Indian regimes from Gandhi to Modi's BJP, including the 1984 Sikh Genocide, the extrajudicial killings of over 150,000 Sikhs, and the ongoing agrarian crisis that has driven more than 110,000 farmers to suicide.
