Sikh advocacy group in US working to ensure due legal process for asylum seekers from India
Saturday, 15 February 2025 The Sikh American Legal Defense and Education Fund (SALDEF) raised concerns over ICE raids and deportations of Indian and Sikh youths in the US. Asylum seekers from the community face challenges and uncertainties. SALDEF urges vigilance, advises on rights, and works with advocacy groups to ensure fair processes. Hate crimes against Sikh Americans are also a growing issue.
Prime Minister Mark Carney is under fire after celebrating Vaisakhi at a Sikh temple in Ottawa while remaining silent on Palm Sunday, which fell on the same day. Wearing a yellow turban and serving at the langar, Carney’s gesture was praised by the Sikh community—but sparked backlash online from Christian groups and conservative commentators.
Social media influencer Oli London accused the PM of “pandering” to Sikhs while ignoring Christian holidays like Palm Sunday and Passover. Critics are asking: Is this inclusive multiculturalism or selective symbolism? Meanwhile, defenders argue that events like Vaisakhi are about unity and should not be politicized.

Khalistan Protestor Attacks Jaishankar In London, Tears Indian Flag As Uk Police Remain Unresponsive. Khalistani extremists attempted to attack External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar in London as he exited an event at Chatham House. A video shows a protestor tearing the Indian flag while UK police stood by unresponsive. Pro-Khalistan demonstrators staged a protest outside the venue. The UK government’s leaked extremism report lists pro-Khalistan extremism as a concern. Earlier this year, Sikh protesters vandalized the Indian High Commission in London, prompting India to summon the UK’s deputy high commissioner over the security breach.
