Srinagar, Oct 09 (KNO):
Gurudawara Prabandak Committee (GPC) Saturday said that the minority community members won't attend the duty unless the government provides protection to them in the valley.
Addressing a press conference, General Secretary Navtej Singh said that though there were many inputs and incidents in the past targeting the minorities yet government didn't provide any security to the community.
Singh said that the government has failed to safeguard the minority community in Jammu and Kashmir.
“We demand the government should provide security to our government employees and assure the minority community that they are safe in the valley,” he said.
Singh said that the majority should come forward and condemn the attack on the minority communities.
“It would have been better if the majority community would have participated in yesterday's protest,” Singh said. “Unless government assures security to the minority, none of them would attend the government duty.”
The United Sikh Forum (USF) Saturday condemning the killings of two school teachers said that no Sikh would leave Kashmir and appealed to all the communities to get united at the time of crises.

“We have to get united to fight against these elements who are trying to create a gap in between communities,” Singh said
Singh said to protect Kashmiri brotherhood Moulana's and Mufti's from Muslim community and leaders from Sikh community should get united and come forward to deal with such elements who are trying to create a wedge between the two communities.
