Organisers of the so-called ‘Khalistan Referendum’ received a jolt yesterday as Canadian authorities withdrew permission to hold voting at a public school. The referendum was scheduled for 10th of this month at the Tamanawis Secondary School in the town of Surrey in British Columbia. However, a spokesperson for the Surrey District School Board said, in a release, that it had cancelled a community rental of one of our schools due to a violation of our rental agreement.
Concerned Indo-Canadians were upset over the referendum as government school being used for the purpose. The ostensible reason for withdrawing permission was that promotional materials and poster for the event featured images of the school, alongside images of AK-47 machine gun.
