Ever since the Taliban regained power in Afghanistan, minorities have been concerned about their own safety. Everyone, including Hindus and Sikhs, is scared and trying to flee the Taliban regime. India has also spoken of granting asylum to Hindus and Sikhs living in Afghanistan. However, in the midst of all this, an important statement of the Taliban has come up.

The Taliban have insisted that Hindus and Sikhs are safe in Afghanistan. The Taliban made the statement after meeting the Kabul Gurudwara Committee. The Taliban have assured that Hindus and Sikhs in Afghanistan will not be harassed and will enjoy full security. A photo of the Taliban meeting with the Kabul Gurudwara Committee has also surfaced showing several Taliban leaders sitting.

Some time ago, news came that 200 people had taken refuge in a gurdwara due to fear of the Taliban. It consisted mostly of Hindus and Sikhs. There were many who now wanted to go directly to the United States or Canada because they had no faith in the Taliban.

But now the Taliban met with the Kabul Gurudwara Committee just to win that trust. It made it clear that no one needed to be afraid and that everyone would be protected. However, given the current situation, no one is trusting the Taliban. There is a big gap between what the Taliban say and do. Even so, the question of how much freedom the Taliban, which has talked of enforcing Sharia law in Afghanistan, will now give to minorities is a question.
