(Web Desk) – Following the Pahalgam incident and rising regional tensions, sections of Sikh leadership and diaspora groups have reiterated their support for Pakistan, while also echoing concerns over India’s internal and external policies.
According to statements cited in reports, Sikh political activist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun expressed solidarity with Pakistan, claiming that millions within the Sikh community stand alongside Islamabad. He also alleged that India’s intelligence operations have been involved in targeted actions against Sikh figures abroad, claims that have previously surfaced in diplomatic disputes.
The developments come amid heightened India-Pakistan tensions, where both sides have exchanged strong political narratives following the Pahalgam attack allegations. Pakistan has maintained that accusations linking it to the incident are unverified and politically motivated, while India has continued its security-related assertions.
Analysts suggest that such statements from diaspora groups reflect the broader geopolitical friction in South Asia, further complicating already strained regional relations. Experts also note that competing narratives around the incident are intensifying information warfare and diplomatic challenges between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.
The situation remains fluid as international observers call for restraint and verification-based dialogue to prevent further escalation.
