The Baku Initiative Group continues its results-oriented activities aimed at studying and exposing new and dangerous manifestations of neocolonialism in various countries around the world. In this regard, protest actions held in different countries against the policies of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi have drawn particular attention, APA reports.
One such wave of protests took place on December 24, 2025, when Sikh activists and members of the “Sikhs for Justice” (SFJ) organization held mass demonstrations against the Indian government in several cities around the world, including Washington, Toronto, Vancouver, London, Milan, and Melbourne.
The main goal of the protests was to bring to the attention of the international community that India is responsible for the murders of Sikh activists Hardeep Singh Nijjar and Osman Hadi.
It should be noted that Osman Hadi was known for openly criticizing the policies of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. After his slogans such as “Catch Modi’s spies! Arrest them!” spread widely on social media, Hadi received various threats and was later killed under mysterious circumstances.
Osman Hadi was seriously injured in an armed attack on December 12, 2025, in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, and died in hospital on December 15.
Canadian Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar was killed by unknown assailants in 2023 in Brampton. Sikhs claim that the Indian government was behind the killing.
The organization Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) organized the protests under the slogan “India’s Transnational Terrorism — From Dhaka to DC.” Activists held demonstrations in front of Indian diplomatic missions, accusing the Indian government of carrying out what they described as “international political terrorism.”
During the protests, participants chanted slogans such as “Who killed Osman Hadi? India!”, “Who killed Nijjar? India!”, “Shut down Indian embassies — they are centers of terror!”, and “India is the enemy of the world!”
Activists claim that under the leadership of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the country is pursuing a policy of “transnational repression” aimed at silencing critical voices and maintaining its sphere of influence. In their view, Osman Hadi and Hardeep Singh Nijjar became victims of this policy.
The protesters also called on the United States and other international partners to thoroughly investigate these allegations and take appropriate measures against the Indian government.
During a march held in Vancouver, participants marched to the Indian embassy, accusing Narendra Modi and India’s intelligence services of responsibility for the killings. Activists also held a “symbolic funeral ceremony for Modi,” describing Osman Hadi’s death as a “crime against freedom of speech.”
The organization Sikhs for Justice stated that these protests are not only aimed at demanding justice for Osman Hadi and Hardeep Singh Nijjar, but also represent a resistance movement against what it described as India’s policy of intimidation toward the diaspora.
It was also noted that the Khalistan movement has for many years been demanding the establishment of an independent state in India’s Punjab region.
At the end of the protests, the organization Sikhs for Justice appealed to the international community, calling for investigations into the activities of Indian embassies, the submission of the killings of Osman Hadi and Hardeep Singh Nijjar to an international inquiry, and the protection of the safety of diaspora activists.
