Gunmen Shoot At Sikh Men In Peshawar Market, One Dead


Recommended Posts

PESHAWAR: Members of the Sikh community in Peshawar came under attack on Wednesday, with one killed and two injured in a firing incident. Following the attack, protestors took to the streets and burnt tyres blocking roads including the grand Trunk (GT) road in Peshawar.

The demonstrators chanted slogans against what they said was the government's failure to protect members of minority communities and demanded the immediate arrest of those involved in the attack.

The protestors tried to approach the Chief Minister's House but were stopped by security. Later the demonstrators headed towards the Governor's House.

Police officials said unidentified armed men opened fire at members of the Sikh community when they were at Shabab market in the Hashtnagri area.

DawnNews reported that Jasmot Singh, Bahram Singh and Manmit Singh were attacked when they were at their respective shops in the market. The victims were rushed to the Lady Reading Hospital immediately after the attack, where one died.

Negotiations between members of the Sikh community and the administration was also underway.

A large number of protestors shifted the body of the deceased Sikh man to GT Road and demanded that the government give them security. One member said that this is not the first time the community has been attacked and that the government should tell them an alternative if it cannot give them security.

After a number of kidnappings from among the Sikh community in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and other tribal areas, some members have decided to wind up their shops in KP and relocate to Rawalpindi.

In a report published earlier this week, one Sikh man Saroop Singh said, Hasanabdal is a much safer place for the Sikhs to live, as it is one of our holiest sites. Our families feel much secure there, living among other Sikhs in Gurdwara Punja Sahib. Peshawar is not safe, said Singh.

Modi govt should unilaterally allow all Sikhs and Hindus of Pakistan to settle in India!

eh? no way son

we should be urging armed self defense against anti-sikh islamic jihadi's and creating an area of Sikh rule in pakistan not running away like coward hindu's until there is no place left to run because islamics would have demographically outnumbered non-muslims once you stop running away.

Dharam yudh mentally is the only solution against islamic jihadi's, pitty the stupid brainless british white supremacist christian invaders had to come along and wage war on the Sikh empire otherwise our people would have annihilated islamic rule from asia and arabia given enough time.

I had a hindu friend from Pakistan & he talked about 100 hindu girl being forcibly converted yearly & forced into slave trade!

How are you going to fight against radical Islamist who are killing Shia, Ahmadi like carrots.

I see that Pakistan economy is in bottom 11 world economy on verge of deault.

We should weaken Pakistan & take back the the sikh pilgimaage: Nanakana Saheb & conflicting areas of Pakistan kashmir!

On the contrary, Some of the Pakistani Sikhs are being used by ISI to humiliate and demean India!

Both hindtuva and islamic forces have done nothing but harm for Sikhs. When Sikhs ruled over their own homeland every religious community was respected and catered for. That cant happen under islamic or hindutva regiemes they will always want to dominate the religious minorities.

So unfortunately for hindu nationalists for yourself you cant persuade Sikhs who are wise to the games both killers of Sikhs play. We dont want to live under your corrupt rule we have our own interests of having freedom independence one way or another.

India is not ruled by Hindutva forces. Why compare secular India with Islamic republic of Pakistan where non muslims are barred from any offices.

You sound like a khalistani sympathizer:)

duh off course i'm a khalistani sympathizer moreover i'm a khalistani supporter and firm advocate for it!

Nothing wrong with that you make it sound like its a bad thing, but off course for a hindustani it is a bad thing because you dont want to see other people free from corrupt barbaric braminwad rule.

Be careful, he might end up thinking you don't live in India in his delusion.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
