Azerbaijan Becomes New Hub for Khalistan Narrative Backed by Pak-Turkey Axis

  • Azerbaijan hosted an international conference amplifying the Khalistan narrative, signaling a new geopolitical front against India by the Azerbaijan–Pakistan–Turkey axis.
  • The conference, titled “Racism and Violence Against Sikhs and Other National Minorities in India,” aimed to internationalize India’s internal security issues.
  • Organized by the government-affiliated Baku Initiative Group (BIG), the event featured Khalistani extremists and Pakistani officials, including Pakistan’s Punjab Minister for Human Rights and Minority Affairs, Ramesh Singh Arora.
  • Participants discussed approaching the UN Human Rights Committee for probes into alleged “extrajudicial executions” in India, portraying Hardeep Singh Nijjar as a martyr.
  • The choice of Baku as the venue highlights the Azerbaijan-Pakistan-Turkey alignment, with Azerbaijan repurposing BIG to amplify Khalistani propaganda and provide a 'neutral' stage for extremist elements.

Why It Matters: Azerbaijan is now a platform for the Khalistan narrative, backed by the Pakistan-Turkey axis, posing a new challenge to India.
