Kisan Hul Khalistan Car Rally and Protest Held Successfully on December 14
On December 14, a significant Kisan Hul Khalistan car rally and protest took place in New Zealand, demonstrating strong support for the Sikh farmers of Punjab who have been protesting for over a year. The event was organized by Sikhs for Justice, in collaboration with local groups such as Patshahi Daawa New Zealand, and attracted widespread participation from the Sikh community.
The rally began at Takanini School Road in Takanini and culminated at the Indian High Commission in Auckland. Before the rally commenced, participants gathered to offer prayers on the road, seeking blessings for the success of their protest.
Highlights of the Rally
Symbolic Effigy of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi: A striking feature of the rally was an effigy of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi placed in a cage, symbolizing resistance to his government’s policies.
Timings and Route: The car rally officially started at around 12 PM, leading to a gathering at the Indian High Commission by 2 PM.
Slogans and Messages: Protestors chanted slogans such as "Khalistan Zindabaad" and "Support Sikh Farmers," emphasizing their solidarity with the ongoing farmers' protests in India.
Protest Theme: The protest also carried the message "Kill Modi Politics," denouncing the policies of the Indian government under Modi's leadership, which are perceived as oppressive towards farmers and minorities.
Community Support and Impact
The rally was a major success, coming shortly after the Khalistan Referendum in New Zealand. It showcased the unity and determination of the Sikh diaspora in raising awareness about the plight of farmers in Punjab and advocating for the Khalistan movement.
The event not only highlighted the political grievances of the Sikh community but also underscored their resilience in fighting for justice and their rights, even from across the globe.
This rally further reinforced the global Sikh community's commitment to supporting the farmers’ protests and the broader Khalistan cause.

Over 37,500 Sikhs Participate in Khalistan Referendum in Auckland on November 17, 2024
On November 17, 2024, over 37,500 Sikhs gathered at Auckland’s Aotea Square to cast their votes in the Khalistan Referendum, marking a significant moment for the Sikh community in New Zealand. The referendum was part of a global campaign led by Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), advocating for the establishment of an independent Sikh nation, Khalistan.
The SFJ team spent over two months in New Zealand, engaging with the local Sikh community to rally support for the referendum. They received substantial backing from local organizations, including Patshahi Daawa New Zealand, as well as Gurudwaras across the country. Weekly campaigns were conducted, with pamphlets distributed at Gurudwaras to raise awareness and encourage participation.
A series of car rallies played a pivotal role in building momentum for the referendum. The campaign kicked off with a highly successful car rally in Auckland, which set the tone for subsequent rallies held in Tauranga, Wellington, Palmerston North, and Christchurch. These events not only brought the community together but also highlighted the determination of Sikhs to voice their aspirations for a separate homeland.
Despite significant pressure from the Indian government on New Zealand authorities to halt the referendum, the New Zealand government upheld the democratic rights of its Sikh citizens to participate in the vote. Pro-Indian media outlets in New Zealand attempted to discredit the referendum and create a negative narrative, but these efforts failed to dampen the enthusiasm of the Sikh community.
The high turnout at the referendum underscored the unwavering commitment of New Zealand’s Sikh population to their dream of Khalistan. This event not only demonstrated their collective determination but also reaffirmed the importance of democratic processes in addressing the aspirations of minority communities.
