CHANDIGARH, Punjab—The persecuted Afghan Sikh community has appealed the Canadian government to rescue them from Afghanistan, where they are being killed every day. They have sought asylum as well as help for their rehabilitation in Canada.

“I am Surjit Singh Khalsa, speaking on behalf of the Afghan Sikh sangat, request the Canadian government that it is getting impossible for us to survive in Afghanistan. We can’t live here anymore, we are being persecuted and murdered every day. We, the entire congregation that is standing with me, request you that please don’t wait for the day that this kind of thing happens again and we get killed. Please give us refuge and help,” said an Afghan Sikh Surjit Singh Khalsa in video message to the Canadian government.

A direct plea from Afghan Sikhs to support our call to action by World Sikh Organisation of Canada Priority is direct sponsorship for those still in Afghanistan.

  1. Entire sikh community requests the Canadian Govt.to come to the rescue of persecuted sikh community of Afghanistan on humanitarian grounds.Afgani sikhs are the indigenous race of Afghanistan and are living there for centuries together but their existence there is now being threatened by Islamic terrorism which growing very fast like coronavirus and the day is not far off when it will really become a problem for the whole world if not treated in time.The world community must get united against this menace. They have already killed thousands of innocent people in the name of Allah.Eridication of such a deadly weed has become necessary otherwise it will eat up the whole crop.

  2. Today, the Sikhs, known for their valor in military and bravery, are being threatened by ISIS in Afghanistan. While the world is busy fighting the invisible war against Coronavirus, ISIS is visibly engaged in its atrocities against humanity. It is of utmost importance that the United Nation and the world leaders take note that letting ISIS terrorize at will is a direct threat to people anywhere who don’t subscribe to their philosophy.
    We specifically call upon the U.S. and Indian authorities to exert influence on the Afghan government to safeguard and protect the minority Sikh community. We believe that the world is not ready nor it should be for another wave of genocidal behavior of ISIS, this time against the Sikhs. Even one death is too many while ISIS reportedly killed 27 Sikhs just a few days ago.
    It is long overdue for the world to stand together and root out ISIS and its terroristic activities against humanity. It is time for strong action by the United Nations and not just the condemnation for the horrific, innocent and unwarranted killings by ISIS. At the least, the Indian government must immediately welcome Afghan Sikhs with open hands and hearts under the recently enacted Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).

    • It’s a myth that sikhs are safe in india .. they are as unsafe and get humiliated now n then. Sikhs from Afghan or from any other country should pick India by choice or otherwise. Sikhs have undergone the most difficult times since .midnight 1947 !! Genocide military operation to destroy the holiest shrine of the Sikhs killing fake encounters of innocent sikhs rapes. Gurdwsras being demolished till few weeks back in jagannath puri. Sikhs have no trust left in Congress bjpee ( RSS ) are basically anti sikh and the policies of centre and agencies always carry plans to harm sikhs. The best option is Canada or US

  3. Canadian govt should stand at this critical juncture with Sikh community. AS they hold the reputation of generous helpfull.sikhs shall not forget this gratitude.
    It is also a great honour that Sikhs have opted to be given refuse in Canada.
