Worries mount under Taliban rule as Kabul Gurudwara vandalized, smashing of Somnath idol recalled

According to the Sikh community at the Gurudwara, the Taliban had entered the holy place and had broken the CCTV cameras.

New Delhi: Almost two months into Taliban rule in Afghanistan, worries are mounting over the situation of minorities in the country as the famous Karte Parwan Gurudwara in Kabul saw vandalization on Tuesday (October 5, 2021). According to the Sikh community at the Gurudwara, the Taliban had entered the holy place and had broken the CCTV cameras.

This is the first such development since the Taliban takeover of capital Kabul. 

No reaction has so far come from the Taliban's spokespersons, who are normally quite media savvy and quick to react on social media.
