London, England: Sikh and Kashmiri diaspora sections in England protested outside the Indian High Commission in London on Saturday 26 January 2019. The protest coincided India’s Republic Day.

Sikh protesters said that the Sikh nation will not rest until it secures its freedom as well as the release of its political prisoners, as well as the punishment of perpetrators of 1984 Sikh genocide.

Kashmiri activists accused India of committing blatant human rights abuses in Kashmir. Giving details about their protest, the organisers said: “Khalistan and Kashmir Zindabad slogans, being raised by all the protestors in unison, was of obvious concern to Indian journalists in attendance. They were told in clear terms that Hindutva colonialism will never be accepted in those regions. They pledged to internationalise their struggles and bring peace and justice to the Sikh and Kashmiri homelands”.
