Despite the frequent oppression faced by minority Hindu and Sikh families in Pakistan, the country pretends to be sympathetic toward Sikhs. To appease the Sikh community, for the past several years—on occasions such as Minority Day and Pakistan Day—large hoarding advertisements have featured the photograph of a Sikh police officer. The reality behind this image is quite different.
The Sikh man shown, named Gulab Singh, was serving in the traffic police in Pakistan’s Punjab province, but he was suspended seven years ago without any solid reason. Since then, he has been repeatedly pleading for reinstatement, but to this day his case has not been heard. The main reason behind this treatment is simply that he is a Sikh. Recently, he even raised this demand with the Chief Minister of Punjab.
Therefore, Pakistan should stop pretending to be sympathetic toward Sikhs. By using Sikhs abroad and promoting Khalistani activities, Pakistan leaves no stone unturned in tarnishing the image of Sikhs worldwide.
Today, Sikhs in India receive great respect. Governments commemorate the days of Sikh Gurus, and Sikhs live in the country with pride—not only as citizens but also holding many important positions, from the Prime Minister and Home Minister to several other key offices. On the other hand, the condition of Sikhs in Pakistan is such that it needs no explanation.
