CHANDIGARH: Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal sought personal intervention of Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh to ensure complete security and safety of Sikh Community in wake of ongoing turmoil in Kashmir valley and its impact on the Sikh community there.


In a letter to the Prime Minister, Badal apprised him about the gravity of situation in the valley enclosing a copy of resolution of Jammu & Kashmir Gurdwara Parbandhak Board for his perusal.

The Chief Minister impressed upon Dr. Singh to provide complete security cover to the Sikh community through the Central Security Agencies in Jammu & Kashmir so that the Sikh community stays back and does not leave the valley.

The Chief Minister also mentioned in the letter that the ongoing situation in the valley and assault on Sikhs, Sikh youth and Sikh religious symbols is a matter of great concern for the nation. There have been incidents of pelting of stones also on the residential houses of the Sikhs.

The letter further read as, "The Sikh community in the valley which believes in peace, tranquility and harmony is now feeling unsafe on account of these unfortunate incidents. The Sikh community has always stood like a rock against all odds and maintained the social fabric during the peak period of militancy".
