'Individuals have the right to freedom of speech': US on Sikh separatist groups

Firstpost  

One such group called Sikhs for Justice is based in the United States and has been organizing an unofficial so-called ‘Khalistan Referendum’ The State Department on Tuesday said the United States respects the right to freedom of speech and assembly of individuals when asked about American factions of the movement for a Sikh separatist state that has long frustrated India. The Indian government has complained about the presence of Sikh separatist groups outside India, especially in Canada. “What I will just say is that, broadly across the board, individuals have the right to freedom of speech, rights to peacefully assemble in the United States, all of which are in line with our First Amendment protections, and adherence, of course, to any appropriate federal and local regulations.” The demand for an independent Sikh state surfaced most prominently in India during a violent insurgency in the 1980s and 1990s and paralyzed the state of Punjab. Canada last month alleged that India may have been involved in the killing of Canadian citizen and Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, whom New Delhi labeled as a “terrorist”.
