Pannun said: “We believe in ballot not bomb and will announce Khalistan Referendum Voting Date in Punjab on June 6 from Sri Akal Takht Sahib”. SFJ UK’s Coordinator, Dupinderjit Singh said, “Under UN Charter and Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Sikh people have a right to express their will through referendum on the question of continued and future association of Punjab with India but Indian regime has attempted to criminalize those Sikhs who have spoken out against Indian occupation of Punjab.
