flag A Sikh parade in Tauranga was disrupted by a right-wing group shouting "This is New Zealand not India," marking the second such incident in three weeks.

A Sikh Nagar Kirtan in Tauranga, New Zealand, was disrupted on January 11 by a right-wing group linked to Destiny Church, which performed a Maori haka and displayed banners claiming “This is New Zealand not India.” This marks the second such incident in under three weeks, following a similar disruption in Auckland. Sikh leaders condemned the actions as threats to religious freedom and interfaith harmony, urging both New Zealand and Indian governments to act. No physical violence occurred, and police maintained order. The events have raised concerns about tolerance and the protection of peaceful religious expression in New Zealand.
