UK based Rapper Taran Kaur Dhillon, famously known as Hard Kaur, has again found herself embroiled in a controversy for an Instagram video she posted in which she asked Sikhs to join the Khalistan movement.
Hard Kaur posted the video three days ago urging Sikhs to vote for Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) and its ‘Referendum 2020’ in November.
It is every Sikh’s duty to support Khalistan. If you are a Sikh then you must support the Khalistan movement.”
On Wednesday, Hard Kaur shared three videos on “Khalistan Freedom movement” with the caption: “Every minority state is fed up of Indian government & the racist Hindus. No one wants to live with you because you are the most dirty minded people in the world…Indians hate the truth.”
In videos posted earlier, she urged people to vote for Khalistan.
“Ladies and gentlemen, make sure you sign Referendum 2020. Khalistan Zindabad,” she said in the video.
The rapper also wore a “Punjab Referendum 2020 Khalistan” T-shirt. She also shared songs sung by traditional Sikh singer Tarsem Singh Moranwali that Sant Baba Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale.
Hard Kaur tagged Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh and Shiromani Akali Dal President Sukhbir Singh Badal in her posts. CM had welcomed the Centre’s decision to declare Sikhs for Justice an “unlawful association”.
She is a vocal critic of the ruling government and often criticises them in her posts on social media. In June, Kaur was charged under various IPC sections such as sedition and defamation for her social media posts against Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Adityanath and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat. She had called called Adityanath “Orange rapeman” and Bhagwat a “racist murderer”.
