UNITED SIKHS urges you to write to your Congressional Representative and Ask Them to Help the Sikhs and Hindus Trapped in Afghanistan

Dear Supporters,
UNITED SIKHS has always come forward  when there has been a need to raise a voice for humanitarian causes.
So, when it comes to drawing the attention of the International community towards the crisis in Afghanistan, we will be doing everything we can to help the situation and to evacuate and rescue people from Afghanistan.

Currently, there are 285 Hindu and Sikh men, women, and children desperate for assistance in the Gurudwara Karte Parwan.  Many left their homes in other parts of the country and fled to Kabul to seek refuge in the Gurudwara Karte Parwan.
Please contact your Congressional Representative and urge them to speak out for and help the terrified and helpless people trapped in the Gurudwara Karte Parwan.

Dear Representative,

I write to you as a constituent deeply concerned about the safety of the religious minority groups facing persecution in Afghanistan.  The most recent and complete militant take-over of Afghanistan and its cities has created unrest in the country. While this has put many civilian lives at risk, the Sikh and Hindu community, in particular, is now facing an imminent and extreme existential threat.
The Sikh and Hindu communities numbered hundreds of thousands in Afghanistan and that number has dwindled over the years.  They have been persecuted for their faith in the past with multiple terrorist attacks against them and their cultural sites have been decimated.
Today, the situation is even more precarious. Currently, there are approximately 285 men, women, and children huddled in the Gurdwara Karte Parwan in Kabul.  The Taliban forces have claimed they will protect them but they have taken away their freedom and their weapons and have detained them in the Gurudwara.  As we can see, the political climate that is not tolerant of religious pluralism places these vulnerable religious minorities at great risk.
As your constituent, I implore you to introduce legislation that will enable the United States government to fund the humanitarian relief needed to obtain the release of those detained in the Gurdwara Karte Parwan and to aid other religious minorities seeking refuge for themselves and their families in neighboring countries and in the U.S.
It is absolutely urgent that the U.S. provide the necessary aid to Sikhs and Hindus and provide safe passage to refugees to neighboring countries and to the United States where they can seek asylum.
I truly appreciate your attention to and action to assist in this humanitarian crisis.
Sincerely,

Thank you for your continued support for our humanitarian mission in Afghanistan
