Apparently, a student from Heritage School in Jammu was asked not to wear her dupatta to school sparking outrage against the school administrative body.\u00a0 Apparently, the administration told her that following this, she will carry a kirpan<\/em> to school!\u00a0 (Kirpan is a curved, single-edged sword or knife carried by Sikhs).\u00a0 The furious protestors from Sikh organizations report that where in the world do students carry kirpans\u00a0<\/em>to school!<\/p>\n Her upset father met with the administration and told them that they would never allow their daughter to go to school without her customary dupatta which they have always worn and asked them to return the school fees and issue a transfer certificate, ready to take their daughter out of school.<\/p>\n The Sikhs<\/a> from the Sikh organizations in Jammu state that it is a deliberate attempt on the part of the government to humiliate the children and segregate them. The irate Sikh organization head, on speaking to the press vowed that the Sikhs will not allow the children to be insulted this way and they are willing to give their lives for this cause.<\/p>\n Salman Nizami, a Congress politician tweets, “After Muslims, now Sikhs not allowed to wear turbans, dupattas; Video from Jammu. BJP has emboldened this fringe behavior in India. Minorities are made to feel like second-class citizens. Stop tearing the beautiful fabric of India\u2019s diversity!”<\/p>\n After Muslims, now Sikhs not allowed to wear turban, Dupatta; Video from Jammu. BJP has emboldened this fringe behavior in India.
