On January 28th, a referendum for Khalistan independence was initiated in San Francisco.
Sikh for Justice (SFJ) started its political campaign in San Francisco ahead of the referendum.
Protesting against the Indian government, Sikh for Justice staged a demonstration during the visit of an Indian consulate team to San Francisco.
Sikhs surrounded the Indian consulate, expressing their protest through a rally with hundreds of Sikh participants.
The rally prominently featured images of Sikhs who were martyred, including those involved in the assassination of Indira Gandhi.

India has been attempting unsuccessfully to thwart Sikh efforts for independence, according to Sikh leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannun.
Prime Minister Modi has unleashed a new wave of violence, resulting in the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada, says Gurpatwant Singh Pannun.
History attests that Sikhs have always responded to injustices against them, adds Gurpatwant Singh Pannun.
Violence begets violence, and Gurpatwant Singh Pannun emphasizes that the cycle of violence continues.
Sikhs have chosen the path of the pen over the bullet in their quest for the freedom of their homeland, says Gurpatwant Singh Pannun.
