National Akali Dal activists protest threat letters to Sikhs in Kashmir

A group Sikhs today protested against the alleged threatening letters asking people of the community to convert to Islam and demanded immediate action by the Central government to ensure safety of the community members in that state.

Activists of National Akali Dal were led by Paramjeet Singh Pamma who alleged the government was only concerned about the Commonwealth Games and not about the fate of the Sikh community.

Pamma said his organisation is planning a visit to the Kashmir Valley.

Anonymous letters were received by Sikhs in Kashmir asking them to convert to Islam or face consequences.

The matter was also raised in Parliament, where the government assured it would look into the reported threat.
