In response to a media query regarding abduction of Sikh community leader in Paktia, Afghanistan, the Official Spokesperson Mr. Anurag Srivastava said,

"We strongly condemn the abduction of Mr. Nedan Singh, a leader of the Hindu and Sikh Community of Afghanistan, by terrorists.

The targeting and persecution of the minority community members by terrorists at the behest of their external supporters is a matter of grave concern.

India is in touch with the Government of Afghanistan for ensuring safety , security and well being of the minority community in Afghanistan. We hope that the Government of Afghanistan would be able to secure safe and early release of Mr Nedan Singh.”
