“The removal of the Nishan Sahib from a gurdwara by the Taliban in Afghanistan is condemnable. The Centre must ensure the safety of Sikh shrines in Afghanistan and the Sikhs living there. The repeated harassment of Sikhs in Afghanistan is injustice to minorities,” she added.

The president also called up players of the victorious hockey team at the Tokyo Olympics. “Both men and women hockey teams have done well, with Punjab sending some good players. All of them deserve appreciation.”
