Of the two main Khalistan advocacy groups in the state, the Dal Khalsa pledges no allegiance to the Indian Constitution. Unlike Mann's SAD (Amritsar), the Dal Khalsa does not participate in state or national elections. He described his Dal Khalsa as an organisation espousing a sovereign state for the Sikhs. Singh insists his group has no truck, covert or overt, with any Indian political party. On numerous occasions, they have been seen protesting visits of Indian Sikh leaders - from across the political spectrum - to their countries of residence.
