Another journalist Aditya Raj Kaul said: "Taliban has removed the Sikh religious flag of Nishan Sahib from Gurudwara Thala Sahib, Chamkani, Paktia in Afghanistan. Guru Nanak had visited this shrine and hence this place has immense historical significance. Nidan Singh Sachdeva was kidnapped last year from the same Gurudwara."
