Banned Sikh Group SFJ Accused of Stirring Violence Before Independence Day

The proscribed organization Sikh Federation for Justice (SFJ) remains under close surveillance after its chief, Gurpatwant Singh, intensified online propaganda urging Punjab youth to hoist the Khalistan flag at schools and public gatherings. Singh is also encouraging protests against the Indian government on Independence Day, turning the digital campaign into a broader hate drive that targets the prime minister and other officials.
