Mann said the attack on Sikhs in ‘Karte Parwan’ Gurudwara is a shameful and cowardly act of the terrorists who have targeted innocent Sikhs in the holy shrine. He said the government of India must flag this issue with the national government of Afghanistan and ensure that no harm is caused to Sikhs residing there.

Mann said the government of India must ensure the safety of the Sikhs in the Gurdwara.

The CM said decisive and swift action needs to be taken by the Prime Minister in this hour of crisis.

It is very unfortunate that the terrorists had not even spared the religious shrines for carrying out such brutal activities, he said.

Mann said this incident has once again proved that the terrorist do not have any religion and their sole aim is to spread terror amongst the masses.

The CM said attack on Gurdwara sahib where ardass is performed daily for well being of entire humanity is unimaginable. He said this is a disgraceful act which must be condemned by one and all.

Mann urged the Punjabis to pray for the well-being of all the Sikhs residing in Kabul.
