Government today said it will soon issue orders to help the Sikhs who have returned from Afghanistan following violence in the neighbouring country. Speaking at a function organised by Kendriya Guru Singh Sabha in his honour in New Delhi, the Union Home Minister Mr. P. Chidambaram said the government holds the community in high esteem. He added government stands by every community, every disadvantaged person and promises equal place and equal rights to all. Thousands of Sikh families have come to India from Afghanistan since violence erupted in early 1980s. KGSS requested Mr Chidambaram to look into their grievances as these families are living as refugees and are facing a lot of problems.
