Takht seeks help for Afghan victims’ kin

Amritsar, July 5

Akal Takht has appealed to the Sikh community in all over the world to extend a helping hand to kin of victims killed or injured in Jalababad and those who were in trouble in terror-hit Afghanistan.

The SGPC on Thursday performed the “bhog” of “akhand path” that were instituted to pay tributes to the departed soul, at Gurdwara Manji Sahib in the Golden Temple complex. Bhai Hira Singh, who had shifted his base to Delhi from Afghanistan, also attended the “bhog” along with his supporters. “We show our gratitude towards the SGPC for helping the Aghan Sikh community in troubled times,” he said. Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Gurbachan Singh said though the Sikh institutions had been helping the Afghan victims, but the Sikh community living in all parts of the world should join hands to help the Sikhs stranded over there. — TNS
