"Sikhs Narrate N. Alliance's atrocities
(Dawn Islamabad, Pakistan Page: 18: Metropolitan: Saturday 24th November
2001 By Our Correspondent)
Taxila, Nov 23:Over 150 Sikhs living in Afghanistan fled different parts
of the country and took shelter in Hassanabdal, their religious center.
Talking to Dawn the Sikhs refugees, included elderly women and children,
said they were settled in Jalalabad and doing business there, but the
uncertainty forced them to leave their home and business. They said they
posed as pro-Taliban and left their homes to save their lives from
Northern Alliance's excesses and high handedness.
They admitted that Taliban were peace-loving people and protected the
lives and property of the minorities. It was the Western media, that
portrayed them as inhuman and rude but they respected every citizen,
except those who took law into their hands.
They crossed borders through unmanned routes of Khyber Agency to avoid
being caught. The Sikh refugees disclosed that following entry of Northern
Alliance in the cities, their life and property were endangered as their
men looted and plundered in the cities where they occupied.
The fleeing Sikhs said that if a broad based government comprising all the
groups particularly Pakhtoons were not immediately formulated, Afghans
will not accept the domination of Northern Alliance. This will only add to
the miseries of the already worn-torn country. A Sikh refugee said that
the US should intervene in Afghanistan to halt the massacre of Pakhtoon
community which could end up in another civil war"

"O you who believe, fasting is made obligatory on you as it was made for
those before you, so that you may achieve Taqwa (God Consciousness).
(Fasting) for a fixed number of days; but if any of you is ill, or on a
journey, the prescribed number (Should be made up) from days later. For
those who can do it (With hardship), is a ransom, the feeding of one that
is indigent. But he that w ill give more, of his own free will,- it is
better for him. And it is better for you that ye fast, if ye only knew.
Ramadhan is the (month) in which was sent down the Qur'an, as a guide to
mankind, also clear (Signs) for guidance and judgment (Between right and
wrong). So every one of you who is present (at his home) during that month
should spend it in fas ting, but if any one is ill, or on a journey, the
prescribed period (Should be made up) by days later. God intends every
facility for you; He does not want to put to difficulties. (He wants you)
to complete the prescribed period, and to glorify Him in that He has
guided you; and perchance ye shall be grateful." (Holy Qur'an 2:183-185)
