A Sikh religious procession (Nagar Kirtan) in Tauranga, New Zealand, marking Guru Gobind Singh Ji's birth anniversary, was disrupted by a right-wing group performing a haka and displaying banners stating "This is New Zealand, not India." This marks the second such incident in three weeks, following a similar event in Auckland. Sikh organizations, including the SGPC, have condemned the disruptions, calling them unacceptable and a threat to religious freedom. Shiromani Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal urged India's External Affairs Minister to address the issue diplomatically with New Zealand. Protesters, linked to Pentecostal leader Brian Tamaki, described their actions as "peaceful defiance." The processions concluded peacefully due to police and volunteer coordination.
