From 1984 to 2024, the Government of India has created a violent legacy of State-Violence. The Indian government's use of military-grade weapons and tanks against innocent Sikhs during the 1984 Sikh genocide is a stark reminder of the Indian governments brutality. The Indian regime is yet to be held responsible for these violent actions.

Now in 2024, this pattern of excessive force continues to be seen with the ongoing farmers protest in punjab where some Sikhs are still being targetted and killed. The use of lethal weapons raises concerns about human rights violations and the need for immediate ceasefire against peaceful protesters.

The Sikh Assembly of America stands strongly with farmers and the Sikh nation in the fight against injustice.

Following the great work of Dr Gurmeet Singh Aulakh and his lobbying in Congress, the Sikh Assembly of America recently laid forth several Sikh issues at the U.S Capitol in Washington DC. Working cohesively and engaging several members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, the assembly was able to bring forth light to recent resolutions passed at state levels recognizing the 1984 Sikh Gencocide committed by the Indian Regime. Furthermore the Sikh Assembly of America also raised the importance of proper recognition on both state and national level for the Sikh nation.
