Punjab Referendum 2020 Issue

Separatism has raised a decisive head in Punjab, with the reverence for slain leader Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale being turned into a formal movement with Sikhs for Justice, an organisation operating out of Canada, having declared 2020 as the year for a referendum for a separate Sikh nation.

Sikhs for Justice, who have been venerating Bhindranwale for decades now, have launched a virtual blitz on the social media for the 2020 referendum as they call it. Posters call upon the Punjab police not to follow instructions from Chief Minister Amarinder Singh. In other words to mutiny. Hoadings appeared in different Punjab cities calling for Punjab Independence, and announcing the so called 2020 referendum in Barnala and Patiala amongst other cities.
