Gajinder Singh Safri was the second Sikh to be elected as a Member of Parliament in Afghanistan. He was the brother-in-law of Jai Singh Fani, the first Sikh MP, and secured representation in the 1988 parliamentary election. Safri fled into United Kingdom after the Najbullah Ministry abdicated power in 1992; he has testified before the United Kingdom Immigration Appeal Tribunal as an expert witness about the severe risks faced by Hindus and Sikhs in Afghanistan under Taliban and other Mujahideen.
