India on Thursday registered “strong protest” over the killing of two Sikh traders in Pakistan’s northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said that this is not the first such attack and called for the authorities in Pakistan to take stringent action against the perpetrators.
“We have seen the reports on brutal killing of two Sikh traders by unidentified armed men in Peshawar. Sadly, this is not the first such case or a rare occurrence. Grave concerns have been expressed by various quarters of the Indian civil society and the Sikh community at this shocking and deplorable incident,” MEA’s official spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said.
