“DELHI SIKH GURDWARA MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE MEMBERS HOLD TURBANATORS PRIDE”-REFUSE TO REMOVE TURBANS  FOR SECURITY CHECK WHILE BOARDING TO DUBAI FROM ITALY

AMRITSAR: After mounting pressure on the Italian government, a five-member delegation of Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) was allowed to take the flight to Dubai, without removing their turbans for security check.

DSGMC team including Manjit, Paramjit Singh alias Rana, Gurvinder Pal Singh, Puneet Singh Chandhok and Gurbachan Singh Cheema had refused to board the plane from Rome’s Fiumicino Airport on Tuesday, after they were asked to remove their turbans for security check. They left the plane and camped at airport in protest. The delegation had gone to Italy to attend the “International Sikh Dastar (Turban) Awareness Day” on August 3 at Luna Park in Cremona, Italy.
