Protection Of Sikh Families In Pakistan

EDM number 1522 in 2008-09, proposed by John McDonnell on 18/05/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Asia and Religious discrimination.

That this House notes the deep concern felt within the British Punjabi community at the reports of attacks on Sikhs by Taliban militants in the Aurakzai area of Pakistan, which has resulted in the demolition of Sikh homes and businesses and the flight of Sikh families to seek refuge in gurdwaras; and calls on the Government to urge the Pakistani government to do all it can to ensure the protection of Sikhs from attacks by extremists and, wherever necessary, compensate and secure the safe relocation of Sikh families.

This motion has been signed by a total of 32 MPs.
