AMRITSAR: Sikh groups, including Khalsa Action Committee, Dal Khalsa and others have issued appeals for the protection of their brethren in Pakistan’s tribal region.

Provoked by the beheading of Jaspal Singh and murder of another Sikh after their families failed to fulfill Taliban’s demand for One crore jaziya (tax on non-Muslims), leaders of Sikh groups expressed their concern to Pakistan government in a communication, routed through Pakistan’s high commissioner in Delhi.

Bhai Mohkam Singh and Kanwar Pal Singh has written to the Pakistan government conveying "the community’s pain and anguish on the mindless killing of Jaspal Singh in tribal area and expressing solidarity with Pakistan in its fight against the Taliban."

Expressing shock over the gruesome incident, the letter faxed to High Commissioner Mr Shahid Malik reads: The recent killing has traumatized the Sikhs who have been living in the atmosphere of fear and depression since long. Sikhs in Pakistan are a tiny minority and unlike other countries, their role and presence is negligible in country’s polity.

Citing "the strong cultural bonds between the Sikhs and the Muslims of this region and the process of reconciliation initiated some years ago," the letter has appealed for "stringent and stern" action against those responsible for the recent killings. They also urged the Pak government to do its best to ensure the safety of other two who were said to be still in the custody of the Taliban.

Kanwarpal Singh said Manmohan Singh Khalsa, head of their organization’s UK chapter has reached Pakistan to take stock of the situation, meet the aggrieved families and government officials.
