WASHINGTON: India’s separatist organisation Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) has said that the Babri Masjid will be rebuilt at the exact site of the Ram Mandir after an independent Sikh state, Khalistan, is established.
The organisation also described Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s upcoming visit to Ayodhya as the “birthplace of Hindutva terrorism,” according to video statements released by SFJ.
SFJ General Counsel Gurpatwant Singh Pannun made the remarks in a video message posted by the group on social media.
Call to ‘lay siege’ to Ayodhya
Pannun urged Muslims across India to travel to Ayodhya on 25 November, form a massive human chain and “seize the city” in opposition to Modi’s planned ceremony at the Ram Mandir.
“If Muslims have to survive in Hindustan, they must be ready to defend their faith and history,” Pannun said.
He announced a reward of Rs1.1 million for anyone who opposed Modi’s Ayodhya programme, which he described as a political spectacle designed to promote Hindutva ideology.
Pannun added that Khalistan flags would be displayed across Uttar Pradesh “to show the world that Modi turned the demolition of a centuries-old mosque into a national festival.”

Liberation of Indian Punjab
According to SFJ, the Babri Masjid will be rebuilt “at the very site where the Ram Mandir stands today” once Indian Punjab becomes an independent Khalistan.
“History cannot be rewritten by bulldozers or by Hindutva mobs,” Pannun said. He called the Ram Mandir a “disputed political monument born from the demolition of Babri Masjid under the ideological terrorism of BJP–RSS.”
SFJ said Ayodhya remains India’s “most explosive and unresolved historical dispute” and argued that neither propaganda nor political ceremonies can erase the reality that Babri Masjid was “violently and illegally demolished.”
Modi’s anti-Muslim sentiment
In the video message, Pannun accused Modi of turning the mosque’s demolition into a political festival driven by anti-Muslim sentiment. He said the rising Hindutva narrative has become a major threat to minorities across India.
He alleged that Modi intends to use 25 November as a symbolic day to promote Hindutva by raising a flag at the Ram Mandir, and appealed to Muslims to block the move by forming a large human chain.
The statements have added fresh tension to an already charged religious and political landscape in India.
Remarks from Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind
Meanwhile, Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind President Maulana Arshad Madani criticised the Modi government for systemic discrimination against Muslims.
Speaking to international news agencies, Madani said Muslims are denied leadership roles in India, including university vice-chancellorships.
“In India, a Muslim cannot even become a university vice-chancellor. Even if a Muslim is appointed, they face imprisonment,” he said.
He contrasted this with opportunities abroad, noting that Muslims can become mayors in major cities such as New York and London.
Madani said the issue was not capability but structural and political barriers that prevent talented individuals from advancing because of their religious identity.
Khalistan referendum preparations in Canada
Meanwhile, SFJ said preparations for the Khalistan referendum in Canada’s capital, Ottawa, have been completed.
Thousands of Sikhs from the United States and Europe have begun arriving to participate.
Voting will begin on 23 November. Sikhs will cast ballots on whether Punjab should separate from India.
"On November 23, the Khalistan referendum vote will take place in Ottawa. A peaceful, democratic, and legal step towards a future Punjab, independent from India’s occupation. Tomorrow, Canada will recognize this.
Come and vote, Singho! This is the time." https://t.co/PvgVCnx9iD pic.twitter.com/DJZmxIcYxG

Sikh leaders involved in organising the event said they aim to achieve independence “through democratic and peaceful means.”
SFJ said the Canadian government has officially allowed the referendum, calling it a major achievement for the movement.
“On 23 November, the Khalistan referendum vote will take place in Ottawa — a peaceful, democratic, and legal step towards a future Punjab, independent from India’s occupation,” the group stated.
