00:00 A disturbing video capturing a violent clash between the rival Khalistani factions during

00:08 the Khalistani referendum in California, San Francisco has surfaced on social media.

00:14 The incident, dated back to January 28, involved supporters displaying Khalistani flags and

00:19 was orchestrated by Gurpathwan Singh Pannun's or Claude Organization's Sikh for Justice.

00:25 The Khalistan narrative in California is primarily dominated by two factions, Major Singh Nijjar

00:30 Group and the Sarvajit Singh Sabi Gang.

00:33 Pannun's organization allegedly marginalizes the former while promoting the latter, leading

00:39 to the intense confrontation witnessed in the video.

00:41 Thousands of Khalistan Independent supporters converged into San Francisco using various

00:46 modes of transport to participate in the referendum organized by Pannun's outfit.

00:51 The non-binding ballot proposal seeks to determine if Punjab, a state of India with a substantial

00:57 Sikh population, should secede and establish Khalistan.

01:00 However, critics argue it's just a futile exercise backed by anti-Indian forces designed

01:05 to create chaos without achieving any concrete results.

01:09 Despite the non-binding nature of the referendum, Khalistanis still use these events across

01:14 the different states and cities, turning up to cast a symbolic vote with no real impact.

01:19 The discord between the rival factions adds to the chaotic nature of these gatherings.

01:24 The history of Khalistan activities in San Francisco has been very contentious already.

01:29 It also includes an arson attack on the Indian consulate dated back to 2 July 2023.

01:35 Fundamentalists reportedly set fire to the Indian structure on the morning and then caused

01:40 minimal damage as the staff escaped unharmed.

01:43 The swift action by the San Francisco Fire Department contained the fire and the incident

01:46 was reported to the federal, state and local authorities.

01:50 These events underscore the ongoing tensions fuelled by the Khalistani sentiment and the

01:54 potential for violence in diaspora communities.
