The Karte Parwan Gurdwara is located on the outskirts of Kabul. The Taliban had already removed the Nishan Sahib – the Sikh sacred banner – from the roof of a Gurdwara in eastern Paktia.

Guru Nanak once paid a visit to the Gurdwara in Paktia’s Chamkani neighbourhood.

Since the Taliban assumed power of Afghanistan, minorities have been subjected to targeted killings, brutality, and discrimination based on their religious and ethnic identities.
