Sikh’s have been targeted by the (IS) but Sikh hands have been tied as Sikhs are not Sovereign. Simranjit Singh Mann.
The Tribune dated 04th October 2022.
Shriomani Akali Dal(Amritsar) states that the Islamic State (IS) has been the chief executers of the Sikh’s. In 2018, it massacred 38 Sikh’s in Iraq. Then in 2020 it massacred 25 innocent Sikh’s at Gurudwara Guru Har Rai Sahib in Kabul, followed by another massacre of Sikh’s in Afghanistan subsequently.
In Peshawar ISIS killed a Sikh Hakim Satnam Singh, followed by a Sikh lady Principal in Srinagar.
The killing of Sikh’s in Afghanistan took place when there was a favourable Hindu Indian regime in Afghanistan under President Ghani.
The Modi Union Government had promised that the Union’s NIA would investigate these murders but the Union Government did not keep its word.
However, we are not aware that it was Zakir Naik’s IRF that influenced these killings. As per our information Zakir Naik is in Saudi Arabia. Our Party is not in-favour of banning any organisation may be like the PFI, as after a ban they continue to work underground deluding their activities.
As far as American Laws against extremism are concerned, they may be few but American Courts pass harsh sentences against those charged with illegal activities.
Sometimes our Party feels that if the Sikh’s had a sovereign state our special forces would hunt such surreptitious bodies down , which would be a deterrent.
