New Delhi: In a shocking incident, two Sikh girls were kidnapped at gunpoint & forcibly converted & wedded to elderly men of a different religion in Srinagar on Sunday.

“Appeal to Centre to take action,” said Manjinder S Sirsa, SAD leader. He led a protest against the alleged forced conversion & wedding of Sikh girls in Kashmir.

In their letter to the L-G, the Sri Akal Takhat Sahib officiating Jathedar Giani Harpreet Singh has written, “Through this letter, I would like to apprise you about the repeated incidents of kidnapping of Sikh girls in Jammu and Kashmir and their forceful religion conversion and marrying them with Muslim men.”

“Recently, a Sikh girl has been kidnapped on gunpoint and forcefully converted into Muslim religion and married to an old man. In the last month, 4 Sikhs have been kidnapped and forcefully converted. There is a strong outrage among Sikh Community worldwide on such repeated incidents,” the letter added.

Thanking Hon’ble @OfficeOfLGJandK Manoj Sinha Ji for immediately issuing directions w.r.t the issue of forced Nikah of Sikh daughters in Srinagar.
