There arent any sikhs in pakistani punjab. They all left in 1947.

I've seen PA Sikhs, very distinctive turbans, when I saw they had brought in 3rd Eliete Commando from Punjab, understanding that has been the center for Sikhs in Pakistan, I concluded that Mushy wanted no loyalty issues in what he expected would be a very tough fight.

Punjab also is very experienced and wary of the Baloch. Ghazi and his family are all Baloch as are many of AQ: Khalid Sheik Muhammed, Ramzi bin Al Sheib, etc. Punjabis would be very motivated to attack them anyway and Pujabis have a long military history in the region, sort of like the Prussians.
