Kaumi Panchayat initiative

Co-led by the Punjab Liberation Society NZ and Sarkar-e-Khalsa Babbar International United Sikhs, the Kaumi Panchayat serves as a transparent, democratic assembly. Our goal is to decentralise decision-making, placing rightful authority back into the hands of the common man whilst uniting the Sikh diaspora under one Nishan Sahib.

Frequently asked questions

Find clear answers regarding the principles, quarterly assemblies, dispute resolution processes, and community advocacy under the Kaumi Panchayat initiative in New Zealand and across the global Sikh diaspora.

What is the primary role of the Kaumi Panchayat?

The primary objective is to resolve internal community disputes transparently and return genuine decision-making power to everyday individuals dedicated to the peaceful Khalistan movement. It prevents our shared cause from being steered by personal fame, financial gain, or compromised private interests.

Who leads and oversees this assembly in New Zealand?

The initiative is co-led by the Punjab Liberation Society NZ and Sarkar-e-Khalsa Babbar International United Sikhs. G. S. Mangat. The legal spokesperson for Khalistan in New Zealand, alongside these organisations, assumes full legal responsibility for peaceful campaign activities within New Zealand territory.

How often are the assemblies held?

The Kaumi Panchayat convenes quarterly democratic assemblies every three months. These sessions welcome all societies, committees, groups, and individuals dedicated to preserving Sikh sovereignty, Sikh identity, and the values of the Khalsa Panth.

How does the initiative address transnational repression?

Many community members and Gurdwara committees face fear due to foreign interference and transnational repression. The Kaumi Panchayat provides an open, lawful, and collective shield, formally escalating concerns so individuals can stand resolutely for their human rights without fear.

How can community members submit issues or concerns?

Visitors can submit their details and specific matters through our website contact channels. Urgent situations are reviewed immediately, while broader matters are assessed on information merit and credibility for formal discussion during quarterly assemblies.

Can Sikhs outside New Zealand take part?

Yes. Although anchored in New Zealand, the Kaumi Panchayat welcomes input, submissions, and participation from the entire Sikh diaspora, working to bring all genuine supporters together under one revered Nishan Sahib.

How are internal disputes and self-serving elements handled?

All raised matters are examined on factual merits with open transparency. The assembly firmly distances itself from greedy or self-interested actors seeking to exploit the campaign, ensuring our collective work remains dignified, lawful, and uncompromised.

What methods does the movement use to seek legal remedies?

All initiatives are strictly peaceful, democratic, and law-abiding. We utilise United Nations human rights mechanisms, formal petitions, public awareness campaigns, and constructive engagement with governments across the Five Eyes nations.
