Jammu, Mar 28: S. Sudershan Singh Wazir Chairman Sikh United Front J&K condemned 'heinous' terror attack on Sikh gurudwara in Afghanistan.
In which 25 worshippers were killed and eight others injured when a heavily armed suicide bomber stormed his way into a prominent Gurdwara on Wednesday in the heart of Afghanistan’s capital of Kabul, in one of the deadliest attacks on the minority Sikh community in the strife-torn country.
Wazir said that attacks against civilians are unacceptable. This incident has shaken the global Sikh community. Sikh families living there usually gathered to offer prayers in the morning. The attackers killed the innocent people, including women and children, who used to live in a portion of the Shrine.
He Said such a cowardly attack, especially during the COVID- 19 pandemic was reflective of despicable intentions of the attackers, requiring us to stand together as “ One Humanity “.
There can be no justification for the killing of civilians at a religious house. Our condolences to the victims and their families. Wazir reiterated that such outrageous acts of terror should not dissuade us from working together to promote solidarity, respect, and peace globally. He stressed that attacks targeting sacred sites and worshippers are intolerable and have to stop.
Recalling the UN Plan of Action to Safeguard Religious Sites, he called on all governments and relevant stakeholders to support the implementation of the plan to guarantee the sanctity of worship places and the safety of worshipers. He urge the Indian government to coordinate with the Afghan government so that the security of the Sikh community can be ensured.
