After the Taliban came to power, there was an atmosphere of fear among the people.
Ever since the Taliban regained power in Afghanistan, the minorities there have started worrying about their security. Everyone including Hindus and Sikhs is scared and trying to escape from Taliban rule. India has also spoken of giving shelter to Hindus and Sikhs living in Afghanistan. However, in the midst of all this, an important statement of the Taliban has come to the fore.
The Taliban have insisted that Hindus and Sikhs are safe in Afghanistan. The Taliban made this statement after a meeting of the Kabul Gurdwara Committee. The Taliban has assured that Hindus and Sikhs in Afghanistan will not be harassed and will get full security. A photo of the Taliban meeting with the Kabul Gurdwara Committee has also surfaced, in which many Taliban leaders are seen sitting.
Some time ago there was news that 200 people have taken shelter in a gurdwara due to fear of Taliban. It consisted mostly of Hindus and Sikhs. There were many who now wanted to go directly to the United States or Canada because they had no faith in the Taliban. But now the Taliban met the Kabul Gurdwara Committee just to win that trust. It made it clear that no one needs to fear and everyone will be protected. However, given the current situation, no one is trusting the Taliban. There is a huge difference between what the Taliban say and do. Still, the question remains how much freedom the Taliban, which has called for the implementation of Sharia law in Afghanistan, will now allow minorities.
