Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) is a US-based secessionist group that supports the formation of Khalistan. Founded and primarily headed by lawyer Gurpatwant Singh Pannun in 2009, the organization was created in response to the lack of litigation to convict the murders and massacres of Sikhs after Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was assassinated by her Sikh bodyguards in 1984.[1]
Sikhs For Justice was banned in India in 2019 as an unlawful association. It held an unsanctioned referendum for creation of Khalistan in October 2021.[2][3]
