Azerbaijan hosted an international conference titled "Racism and Violence Against Sikhs and Other National Minorities in India," organized by government-affiliated Baku Initiative Group, marking a strategic move by the Azerbaijan-Pakistan-Turkey axis to globalize the Khalistan narrative. The event featured Pakistani officials, including Punjab's Human Rights Minister Ramesh Singh Arora, and Khalistani representatives from Canada and UK. It began with silence for Hardeep Singh Nijjar, killed in Canada in 2023. Participants strategized engaging the UN Human Rights Committee to investigate alleged "extrajudicial executions" in India. Azerbaijan's alignment follows India's support for Armenia in Nagorno-Karabakh, with Azerbaijani media adopting Pakistan's "IOJK" terminology for Kashmir. (PC: X)
