SURREY, B.C. — Organizers of a Sikh community referendum on Punjabi independence say they've received a"slap in the face" from a British Columbia school district that cancelled their rental of a school to host voting this weekend.

Posters for the vote on a homeland that supporters call Khalistan have included images of a pen being used to stab a gun. Sikhs For Justice volunteer Inderjeet Singh says the group was not notified of the cancellation until Sunday, a week ahead of the event. Singh says the Sikh community is still grieving Nijjar's death and frustrated with the lack of progress in the police investigation, and the vote cancellation has"aggravated" people.
