Sikhs in Pakistan face an ongoing battle for survival.

The recent threats against the Sikh community in Pakistan have brought renewed attention to the predicament of this minority population in Pakistan. In a recent speech, former jathedar Giani Harpreet Singh detailed the historical persecution of Sikhs in Pakistan. He emphasized that this is not a new occurrence, but rather a consistent pattern of suffering. Singh emphasized the critical need for the Pakistani government to act and protect its minority populations in the wake of a terrifying threat letter that urged the Sikh community to convert to Islam or suffer fatal repercussions.
