Punja Sahib: Thousands of Sikhs and Hindus have taken shelter in Hasan Abdal's Gurudwara at Punja Sahib Gurdudwara in Punjab Province after violence in Buner and Swat region.
These people have left behind their properties and jobs in the wake of the gunbattle between security forces and Talibani militants. These migrants bear the pain of leaving their ancestral properties, jobs and place but they are hopul that sooner or later they will be able to return to their homes.
According to the officials of the Gurudwara, there are over 12000 migrants which also comprise Muslims families.
The Sikhs families were forced to leave their homes after they were forced to pay Jajia tax failing which Taliban have threatened dire consequences.
After the Talibani diktat the members of the Sikh Community have taken shelter in Punja Sahib Gurudwara.
