They banners also termed Indian democracy fake and bogus. 

 
The leaders of the hardliner group urged the five members of the UN Security Council to “pull up” ruthless India for subverting its own constitution to continue to deny democratic rights to its religious and ethnic minorities. 

Dal Khalsa leader Surjit Singh Khalistani said Sikhs and Kashmiris were not alone in this crisis of identity in India. All the minorities, including the Dalits, are also suffering.
