ATROCITIES AGAINST SIKHS IN AFGHANISTAN MUST STOP NOW

After the terrorist attacks on March 25, 2020 in Har Rai Sahib Kabul Gurdwara, the Sikh Diaspora moved swiftly to condemn the persons, organizations and governments responsible. UNITED SIKHS immediately asked the United States to  take action and  protect religious freedoms. Within moments of the cowardly attacks against women and children;UNITED SIKHS rallied support from the international community, the U.S. Administration, Afghanistan authorities and Sikh Afghans on the ground to ensure that these attacks do not happen again.  

ISIS has taken responsibility for multi-day terrorist shootings that left more than 50 people dead. On March 28th,  after  back to back days of terrorist attacks directed at the Sikh community;   Afghanistan immediately  issued  by decree a 10-day ultimatum for Sikhs to leave the country.   The choices given were  to convert, flee the country or face further attacks until all  Sikhs are dead or gone.   These threats are being taken seriously by UNITED SIKHS and have deemed the  decree or fatwa as an affront to the Sikh Nation. 

UNITED SIKHS strongly asserts that the Islamic state attacks that  took place in retaliation to the Feb. 2020 US/NATO/Coalition - Taliban agreement, the March military withdrawal and the withholding of aid to Afghanistan contributed to this violent and deadly  outburst.
