Suicide attack on a Gurudwara Sahib in Kabul needs to be strongly condemned. These killings are a grim reminder of atrocities that continue to be inflicted upon religious minorities in some countries & the urgency with which their lives & religious freedom have to be safeguarded. pic.twitter.com/yQM3u41dVI

Reportedly the number of Sikhs in these areas has reduced as most of them have migrated to India following the restrictions on the minorities made by the Taliban after they took over Kabul.
