New Delhi: BJP and the RSS have condemned the beheading of two Sikhs by Taliban in Pakistan and asked the Government to give utmost priority to the protection of Hindu community in the neighbouring country. A delegation of MPs belonging to BJP, Shiromani Akali Dal, Indian National Lok Dal and Bahujan Samaj Party also called on the Prime Minister requesting him to take up the matter with Pakistan in the forthcoming foreign secretary-level meeting on February 25.

“I demand that the Union Government, which is taking initiative to reopen dialogue with Pakistan, must give utmost priority to the protection of Sikhs and Hindus living in that country and put necessary pressure on the Pakistan Government to ensure safe release of the kidnapped Sikh youths from the Islamists,” RSS general secretary Suresh Joshi said.
