Pro-Khalistan Group the Sikhs For Justice has collected two hundred and fifty thousands ponds for a Khalistan Referendum vote in Scotland in 2024 in response to the Indian government's crackdown on Sikh Khalistani activists in the United Kingdom.

SFJ's announcement came within three days of UK Security Minister Tom Tugendhat's visit to India and the UK government's increased efforts to suppress pro-Khalistan activities.

SFJ's General Counsel Gurpatwant Singh Pannun expressed the Khalistan Referendum is causing seismic effects in India, resembling significant explosions, and the eventual partition of the country is becoming unavoidable.

He said under UK laws the obligation to protect the speech and expression rights of the Sikh People falls upon the government of Rishi Sunak.

Meanwhile, the Khalistan flag was hoisted at the Indian Embassy in Washington DC, specifically at the Gandhi Statue, coinciding with India's Independence Day. SFJ has asserted that 15 August isn't a day of independence for Sikhs; instead, it symbolizes a day of oppression and mass killings for them.
