In a statement, the organisations said neither individual had been authorised, appointed or mandated to speak on behalf of Sikhs. They stressed that views expressed by Kapoor, Singh or other independent commentators on social media should be regarded as personal opinions rather than the position of the wider Sikh community.

The statement urged media organisations, public bodies and other stakeholders not to treat the pair as representatives of Sikh views, arguing that Sikh positions emerge through collective deliberation and recognised Panthic institutions rather than individual influencers or commentators.
