Afghanistan's Acting Foreign Minister Meets with Sikh and Hindu Leaders
In a meeting with Afghan Sikh and Hindu leaders in New Delhi, Acting Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi assured the communities of the restoration of their places of worship and security under the Taliban regime.
Several Afghan Sikhs and Hindus fled Afghanistan after the Taliban takeover in 2021. However, Muttaqi invited seven community leaders to return to Afghanistan during their meeting on Monday.
“There are a number of gurdwaras and temples that have damaged walls and need repair. We requested the restoration and maintenance of these buildings,”said Guljeet Singh, President of the Gurudwara Guru Nanak Sahib-Ji at Manohar Nagar in New Delhi.
The leaders also requested greater representation in the government from minority communities, asking for at least one person from the Hindu community and one person from the Sikh community to be appointed in the government.
