NCM demands action against Sikh attacks in Pakistan
Radiance News Service
The Commission has taken cognizance of media reports regarding attacks on a few Sikh persons including Mastan Singh, Ex-President of Pakistan Sikh Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee. It is alleged that the local land mafia is behind the incident who are trying to encroach on a prime piece of land. Since a prominent Sikh family is subjected to brutality, other Sikh members in Pakistan are feeling insecure. Iqbal Singh Lalpura, the Chairman, National Commission for Minorities has expressed his concern over this as the Sikhs living in India are also concerned about the welfare of their brothers living in Pakistan.
Accordingly, the Ministry of Minority Affairs has been requested to take up the matter with the Ministry of External Affairs vide letter dated 27.04.22 for further taking up the matter with their counterpart in Pakistan so that this kind of incident is not repeated in future and appropriate steps are taken to prevent and combat hate and secure the safety of Sikhs in Pakistan.
