Join us in our urgent call for justice and freedom. Our Bandi Singhs, the crown of our Sikh community, made immense sacrifices for our people. It is time for their unconditional and immediate release. Stand with us, share our message, and contribute to this vital cause.

The unwavering spirit of our Bandi Singhs "SIKH POLITICAL PRISONERS"

The Bandi Singhs are our revered warriors who rose during a dark period when innocent Sikhs faced unimaginable atrocities. They stood firm against the brutal actions of Indian state officials who targeted and tortured Sikh youth without cause, leading to extrajudicial killings and fake encounters. In accordance with Sikh Rehat Maryada, these brave individuals taught lessons to those who perpetrated violence against our community. Their actions were a testament to their dedication to justice and the protection of Sikh dignity. They are the crown of our Sikh community, and their sacrifices make us immensely proud.

It is our collective duty to stand in solidarity for their unconditional and immediate release, including Veer Jaggi Johal.
