Organizers of an upcoming vote on an independent Sikh state say Canada's allegations of an Indian link to the killing of an activist in Surrey have significantly bolstered support for their cause.
A lawyer for Sikhs For Justice says many supporters of an independent Sikh state in India had been reluctant to voice their opinions over fear of being labelled terrorists.
But Gurpatwant Singh Pannun says discussions about India's possible role in the killing are allowing supporters to discuss the issue without fear.
Sikhs For Justice will hold a second round of voting for its unofficial referendum about an independent state known as Khalistan on Sunday at the gurdwara in Surrey where Hardeep Singh Nijjar was shot on June 18th.
