Ajaib Singh, member of the National Commission for Minorities (NCM) expressed shock over a media report of the brutal, suspected hate crime committed against Piara Singh outside a gurdwara in Fresno, California, USA.
He appealed to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid to intervene and said that the sense of security and confidence of Sikhs living in the US and other foreign countries needed to be restored.
In a suspected hate crime, Singh was brutally assaulted with an iron rod outside a gurudwara in the US earlier this week and was in a serious condition.
