Harjeet Singh, the Sikh man in whose shop the explosion happened, said, “Someone placed a time bomb in my shop near the Karte Parwan gurdwara. Luckily I was away to have lunch when the explosion ripped through my shop." (Screengrab) Days after a terror attack on Gurdwara Dashmesh Pita Guru Gobind Singh Karte Parwan in Kabul killed two people, an explosion ripped through a Sikh man’s shop near the gurdwara on Wednesday. No casualty was reported after the explosion and members of the Sikh and Hindu communities living inside the gurdwara were reportedly safe.
As panic gripped their relatives in Delhi after the explosion, they urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to evacuate members of both the minority committees remaining in Afghanistan at the earliest.
Harjeet Singh, the Sikh man in whose shop the explosion happened, said, “Someone placed a time bomb in my shop near the Karte Parwan gurdwara. Luckily I was away to have lunch when the explosion ripped through my shop. A few minutes before that I was sitting at my shop… Suddenly we heard a loud bang and there was a deafening explosion in my shop. This is what my country, and my Kabul, has been reduced to.”
