In a recent escalation of its anti-India propaganda, the Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) group has been actively inciting the Muslim community to demand a separate state named “Urduistan.” This move raises serious concerns about the organization’s attempts to destabilize the country’s unity, a situation closely monitored by security forces.
According to intelligence received by security agencies, the SFJ is persistently promoting anti-India rhetoric, urging both Sikhs and Muslims to economically undermine the nation. They are also inciting Muslims to demand a separate “Urduistan,” portraying Prime Minister Narendra Modi, now in his third term, as a global antagonist of Muslims.
The SFJ, banned in India for its secessionist activities, is leveraging social media platforms to spread its message. Their latest campaign urges Indian Muslims to rally for a separate state, claiming it would serve as a homeland for Urdu-speaking individuals. Exploiting fears, the SFJ alleges that the Indian government plans to introduce the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), which would contradict Sharia Law followed by Muslims and undermine the Muslim community.
Proponents of Urduistan argue that a separate state would guarantee enhanced representation and safeguard Muslim interests, citing historical grievances and contemporary socio-economic challenges. However, this movement is seen by many as a divisive maneuver that can disrupt national unity and exacerbate communal conflict.
“The Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) is inciting fire under the name of Urduistan, misleading people to believe that a separate state would ensure better representation and protection of Muslim interests. They cite historical grievances and current socio-economic challenges,” noted a security agency official.
Security agencies are closely monitoring the situation, particularly the underground operations of SFJ ground workers and separatist leaders. “We are taking necessary measures to counteract these malicious campaigns,” said a senior government official.
Recently, security agencies intercepted communications involving pro-Khalistani elements, particularly SFJ. These intercepted calls and voice messages revealed SFJ’s claims that China stands with them, allegedly in the process of annexing Arunachal Pradesh and preparing to release a new map in support of the liberation of Punjab from Indian occupancy. Additionally, they claim that Canada supports their efforts. Sources indicate Pakistan and China are backing pro-Khalistani organizations to tarnish India on the international stage.
“SFJ persists in advocating for a referendum on Punjab’s independence, utilizing international platforms and digital campaigns to garner support. Now, they are inciting a section of the Muslim community to demand a separate state, Urduistan, using the Uniform Civil Code as a tool to implement a new terrorist scheme,” added the official.
