New Delhi: The Minister of External Affairs has taken up the matter of Australian defence forces' personnel taking part in a pro-Khalistan event with the Australian government.
Earlier, Sikh contingent from the Australian Defence Forces in the Griffith Sikh Games in New South Wales participated at an event featuring Khalistani banners, posters and flags.
Several Australian Sikhs of Indian origin complained to the organisers of the games about the pro-Khalistan banners.
The photos of the event have been doing rounds on social media with people suggesting some kind of anti-India alignment.
Besides, a delegation of 12 Sikh soldiers of the British Army visited religious sites and historical monuments in Pakistan on June 28 under the aegis of the Defence Sikhs Network (DSN), an official UK armed forces organisation.
The visit, under the name 'Ex Nankana Pilgrim 2022' was undertaken at the invitation of Pakistan Army chief Gen Qamar Bajwa. (UNI)
