Sikh youth shot in Pak, days after Nankana Sahib attack

India has condemned the “targeted” killing of a Sikh youth in Peshawar and asked the Pakistan Government to “stop prevaricating” and take immediate action to apprehend and award exemplary punishment to the perpetrators.

According to reports, the killed Sikh youth, Parvendar Singh, was the brother of journalist Harmeet Singh. Said to be a businessman in Malaysia, he was in Peshawar for his wedding slated for next month. When Harmeet Singh joined as a news anchor with a Pakistani TV channel, it was touted as a ‘big event’ for the minorities in that country. He had been giving his views to a few Indian language TV channels.
