Re: Sikhs storm Parliament House
There are Sikhs in KPK who speak much better Pashto than some of the second generation city born young Pakhtoon. Though tiny, but a very established and appreciated business community of KPK. There’s Sikh NA member from PTI, Swarn Singh and before that we had a Singh member from PMLN - I can’t recall his name.
Not that contemporary Pakistani politics has any tradition of intimidating and exploiting minority groups and using them as punch bags for electoral gains like you see in other countries, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exists and their welfare isn’t important to government. The state of Pakistan must provide extended co-operation and goodwill to all minority groups in Pakistan, and solve their issues.
A big well done to Sikh community for carrying out peaceful protest to register grievances - it’s their democratic right and a moral duty to speak up.
