Sikhs Speak Out Against Khalistanis: Activist’s Viral Protest in Delhi Sparks Controversy
In a recent turn of events, a 30-year-old Sikh activist named Jyot Jeet Singh has garnered attention for his viral protest against Khalistanis in Delhi. Jyot Jeet Singh’s video, which shows him holding a placard with the message Say No To Khalistan at Delhi’s Connaught Place, has sparked both praise and criticism online.
Singh, donning a yellow turban, bravely stood his ground, displaying his support for India by holding a placard with the words Mera Bharat Meri Jaan and Say No To Khalistan. The video captures Singh getting recognition from passersby who shake his hand and record videos of him.
Singh, who is actively involved in politics and anti-radicalisation work, pursued a disaster management course in London. He shared that his action was fueled by the frustration Sikhs feel towards Khalistanis. He stated, The truth is Sikhs are fed up with Khalistanis. Their activities are shameful to the majority of Sikhs as generations of our community sacrificed their lives for the country and the tricolor.
Singh acknowledged the mixed response his protest received. While many Sikhs praised him for his bold stance, he also experienced threats and abuse, which intensified due to the video’s wide circulation on social media.
Incidents involving Khalistanis and their supporters have become increasingly common in Western countries. The recent protests, attacks on Indian embassies, desecration of the national flag, and even the prevention of an Indian diplomat from entering a gurudwara in the UK have deeply saddened the Sikh community.
Singh’s protest has gained admiration from various corners. Retired army general Satish Dua, for instance, commended Singh, stating, See what a lone Sikh with a placard in his hand and Bharat in his heart achieved at Connaught Place in Delhi yesterday. Such tiny bullets are enough to burst the gas balloon called Khalistan. Sikhs are also the cutting edge of the Indian Army. Jai Hind!
India has taken steps to address the activities of Khalistanis and their sympathisers in countries like Canada, the UK, US, and Australia. The killing of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in June in British Columbia, Canada, sparked a controversy, with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently suggesting the potential involvement of Indian agents.
Jyot Jeet Singh plans to continue his efforts, risking his own life for the nation. He aims to challenge those who seek to harm India. His unique protest has already made an impact, highlighting the broader sentiment among Sikhs who reject Khalistan and cherish the unity of the Indian nation.
In conclusion, Jyot Jeet Singh’s viral protest has sparked controversy and drawn attention to Sikhs speaking out against Khalistanis. With support and criticism in equal measure, Singh’s actions have shed light on the frustration felt by the Sikh community towards those who advocate for Khalistan. India continues to address the activities of Khalistanis and their sympathizers globally, aiming to protect its unity and integrity.
