"Assured Of Safety": Sikhs In Kabul Gurudwara In Video Shared By Taliban

"Assured Of Safety": Sikhs In Kabul Gurudwara In Video Shared By Taliban

Thursday, August 19, 2021 05:56:52 AM UTC

The Taliban's return to power to Afghanistan after 20 years has triggered and escalated a humanitarian crisis that started when the US pulled out its troops in May

Sikhs and Hindus stranded in Afghanistan have been assured of their safety and "do not feel fear or anxiety", according to a video statement by the head of a Kabul gurudwara that was shared late Wednesday night by a Taliban spokesperson. I am in constant touch with the President Gurdwara Committee, Kabul S. Gurnam Singh & Sangat taking refuge in Gurdwara Karte Parwan Sahib in Kabul. Even today, Taliban leaders came to Gurdwara Sahib and met the Hindus and Sikhs and assured them of their safety @thetribunechdpic.twitter.com/glyCgZBwVI حیاة السیخ والهنود في کابول: رئیس معابدهم في کابول: نحن في أمن و أمان لا نشعر بأي خوف أو قلق. قبل ذلک کان خوف و قلق عند الناس علی أرواحهم وأموالهم والآن لیست هناک مشاکل. نحن مطمئنون. pic.twitter.com/NXrtRuTRod Monitoring the situation in Kabul continuously. Understand the anxiety of those seeking to return to India. Airport operations are the main challenge. Discussions on with partners in that regard. We are in constant touch with the Sikh and Hindu community leaders in Kabul. Their welfare will get our priority attention. @capt_amarinder@HardeepSPuri The video - which appears to be part of a news report by Al Jazeera - was tweeted by Dr M Naeem, a spokesperson for the Political Office of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. It was also tweeted by the Akali Dal's Manjinder Singh Sirsa, who is also President of the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee, who said he was in "constant touch" with the Kabul gurudwara and that Taliban leaders "met Hindus and Sikhs... assured them of their safety". The 76-second video shows several men - some of whom are believed to be Taliban members - visiting a gurudwara and speaking to Sikhs who have taken refuge inside. The video also contains a statement (in Pashto) from a man believed to be the President of the Gurudwara Committee.
