The WSP also expressed fear of rising dangers to the Sikh’s religious and regional identity. However, it clarified that Sikhs’ struggle would be continued even after an attack on the Golden Temple.

The Sikh parliament urged the international community to act against the illegal moves of Indian prime minister Narendra Modi which comprised regional peace.

The organization appealed Indian Sikh soldiers for not taking part in any illegal move and announced its support to the struggle of freedom of Kashmiris.
