AI Generated Summary
- Most laughably, almost all of these accounts spreading Khalistan propaganda in the aftermath of the Red Fort blast are not even based in India but are located in countries such as Canada, the United States, and others where a significant Sikh diaspora exists, often using the platform to advance their separatist agenda from abroad.
- The irresponsible social media campaign by Khalistan propagandists is not just an affront to the victims—it is a betrayal of Sikh ideals and the tradition of communal harmony.
- A devastating terror blast at Delhi’s Red Fort on November 10, 2025, has not only plunged the Indian capital into mourning but has triggered a wave of misinformation and disturbing propaganda by Khalistan sympathizers on social media.
A devastating terror blast at Delhi’s Red Fort on November 10, 2025, has not only plunged the Indian capital into mourning but has triggered a wave of misinformation and disturbing propaganda by Khalistan sympathizers on social media. Their reaction, notably marked by baseless conspiracy theories and insensitive remarks, stands in stark contrast to the core values of Sikhism—Sewa (selfless service) and Chardi Kala (ever-rising spirit)—and raises important questions about the true motives behind this vocal fringe.
Probably because they themselves resort to violence and extremism to further their own agenda, these Khalistan sympathizers fail to call out acts of terror or condemn attacks like the Red Fort blast. Their history of aggression, violence, and association with the tactics of countries like Pakistan undermines any moral authority they might claim. Instead of genuinely supporting the Sikh spirit of peace and service, their silence or provocative rhetoric in the face of terror reveals a deeper alignment with extremism.
The Incident: Facts and Official Response
On Monday evening, a powerful explosion ripped through a car near the Red Fort Metro Station at a busy intersection, killing at least 8 people and injuring 24 others. The blast was so intense that it damaged multiple vehicles and sent shockwaves through one of Delhi’s most densely populated areas. Investigators have invoked stringent anti-terror laws, including the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, and the case is being probed by India’s top agencies including the NSG and NIA.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is on an official visit to Bhutan, pledged “unsparring action” and assured the nation that the perpetrators would be brought to justice. Union Home Minister Amit Shah visited both the blast site and injured victims, confirming that all angles—including international and domestic terror modules—were being investigated.
Misinformation and Social Media Propaganda
Within hours of the blast, several social media accounts—mostly associated with Khalistan sympathizers—began circulating false claims, including allegations of a ‘false flag’ operation and unsubstantiated stories of evidence tampering by Indian media or investigators.
Far from expressing solidarity, these propagandists have weaponized grief—spreading rumors rather than a rallying call for help. Such divisive rhetoric runs counter to Sikh philosophy, which advocates peace, resilience, and compassion in the face of adversity.
Most laughably, almost all of these accounts spreading Khalistan propaganda in the aftermath of the Red Fort blast are not even based in India but are located in countries such as Canada, the United States, and others where a significant Sikh diaspora exists, often using the platform to advance their separatist agenda from abroad.
Khalistan Propaganda: Contradicting Sikh Principles
The reactions by these groups have not just been insensitive—they directly contradict the foundational tenets of Sikhism. Sikh history is replete with instances of Sewa, where community service and humanitarian aid triumph in times of disaster. Chardi Kala, the spirit of optimism and eternal resilience, guides Sikhs to face tragedies with courage and compassion, not hatred and suspicion.
Unfortunately, Khalistan sympathizers often exploit tragic incidents to further their own divisive agenda, resorting to conspiracy theories, calls to violence, and a campaign of mistrust. These tactics not only incite hatred but undermine efforts of genuine Sikh organizations and individuals who strive to maintain peace and communal harmony. Their campaign, especially in the aftermath of a terror attack, reveals a true intent: not to serve or uplift the community, but to fuel fear and polarization.
As investigations into the Red Fort blast continue, it is vital for both media and citizens to distinguish between empathy and exploitation. The irresponsible social media campaign by Khalistan propagandists is not just an affront to the victims—it is a betrayal of Sikh ideals and the tradition of communal harmony. At this difficult hour, the community must stand with the nation, unite in grief and resilience, reject hatred, and reaffirm a collective commitment to justice and healing.
