A row of issues creating social outbursts has been in trend for a long now, it seems. A remark by Nupur Sharma and the whole of humanity is on fire. In retaliation to this, so much harm is being done to the human race which nobody is taking into account. The human race is on fire now. Nupur’s remark has created so much stir in the whole world that people are forgetting what loss is being done to humanity.
There was a terrorist attack in Kabul, Afghanistan as revenge for the Nupur Sharma remark row. A terrorist attack took place in the last remaining gurudwara in Kabul on Saturday. An Afghan Sikh, a private security guard, and a Taliban soldier were dead and several others were injured. Although the Taliban soldiers killed the attackers, there were three in number and all were killed said the interior ministry.
At least 30 members of the minority Sikh community were at the Karte Parwan Gurudwara in Kabul’s Bagh- e- Bala area when the explosive-laden vehicle blew up near the Sikh temple at about 6:30 am. Later it was said by the Taliban officials that the vehicle was prevented from reaching the Gurudawara.
A huge blast was followed by gunfire and multiple explosions that the Taliban officials described as grenade attacks. The interior ministry spokesperson Abdul Nafay Takor said Taliban forces engaged the terrorists in an hours-long gun battle. “At least one member of the Islamic Emirate forces and an Afghan Sikh national were killed,” Takor said, adding that all the attackers had been eliminated.
Armed assailants entered the gurdwara after blowing up the entrance. India has decided to grant e-visas to over 100 Sikhs and Hindus in Afghanistan on priority. As per Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) sources, the decision was taken late last night. Meanwhile, Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP) on Sunday claimed the responsibility for the Karte Parwan Gurdwara attack in Kabul.
ISKP released a statement claiming responsibility for the attack. According to ISKP, ‘Abu Mohammed al Tajiki’ carried out the attack which lasted for three hours. The group claimed that besides submachine guns and hand grenades, four IEDs and a car bomb were also used in the attack.
It further claimed that about 50 Hindu Sikhs and Taliban members were killed in the attack and the attack was conducted as revenge for the insult of Prophet Mohammed by an Indian politician. However, in the attack, only two people were killed and seven others were wounded.
Strong action has already been taken against those who made derogatory remarks. A statement was also issued by concerned quarters emphasizing respect for all religions, denouncing insult to any religious personality or demeaning any religion or sect. Vested interests that are against India-Kuwait relations have been inciting the people using these derogatory comments.
The Bharatiya Janata Party on Sunday suspended its spokesperson Nupur Sharma from the party’s primary membership and expelled its Delhi media head Naveen Kumar Jindal after their alleged inflammatory remarks against minorities.
According to Sikh religious belief, the Saroop, a physical copy of the Guru Granth Sahib is considered a living guru. The transportation of Guru Granth Sahib is governed by a strict code of conduct and as a mark of respect, the Guru Granth Sahib is carried on the head, and the person walks barefoot.
According to reports, the Holy Book was taken to the residence of Gurnam Singh, president, of Gurdwara Karte Parwan. Religious minorities in Afghanistan, including the Sikh community, have been targets of violence in Afghanistan.
