Canberra, Australia: On 7th of November 2024, the Australian Sikh Association organized a significant event today at the Great Hall of the Federal Parliament in Canberra to mark the 40th anniversary of the 1984 Sikh genocide in India. The event was aimed at raising awareness about the historical atrocity and highlighting ongoing concerns regarding foreign interference and transnational repression, particularly the efforts by the Indian government to silence Sikh voices in the diaspora, including in Australia.
