Amritsar: Though the storm raised by kirpan ban in foreign countires and incidents of turban removal & frisking at International airports is yet to settle down but the Central Industrial Security Force has created another controversy by banning the Sikh kirpan in some areas of Amritsar airport.

Some Sikh organizations have termed the ban as undemocratic and a direct attack on Sikh religious rights in its own homeland.

While talking to Saanj news, a baptized Sikh Harnam Singh of Amritsar said that, it is a strange paradox that on one hand the government is talking with foreign countries to lift kirpan ban, while on the other hand, Sikhs have been devoid of their religious right in the Sikh mecca, Amritsar.

It may be mentioned,CISF, the force that takes care of airport security, has banned the Sikh employees to wear 'kirpan', Sikh's religious symbol, while performing their duties on air side at Sri Guru Ram Das International Airport.

"Amritsar is one of the ultra sensitive international airports in the country and we can't take chances with the security of passengers" said commandant of the Force, Sharad Kumar, while talking to reporters.

The issue came to fore after Central Industrial Security Force prevented an airport employee Nirmal Singh to work near the aircraft while wearing his 'kirpan'. Nirmal Singh, a baptized Sikh, also lodged a complaint with Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee, to take notice of this interference into the religious affairs of the Sikhs. Nirmal Singh said that he had been working at airport since 2001 and there had been no issue with his kirpan .

Meanwhile, Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee president Avtar Singh Makkar demanded government intervention for immediate withdrawal of any such orders. "Kirpan is an essential part of Sikh's dress code and can't be separated from Sikhs" he said. It may be mentioned, there are 19 baptized Sikh employees of airport , who are facing harassment due to this ban.

Why people are being so ignorant day by day?
It was never been an issue by Indian gov and all of a sudden this. Is this some kind of fun for them?

Kirpan worn by Baptized sikhs is usually 3 inch blade and not even sharp. Even paper cutter or steel knifes used with forks are more sharp. Why are they making so fuzz on it? I bet their will be at-least ten other things a person can use if he wants to do any harm.

If a Sikh can't practice its religion freely in so called his own country, then where???
 
eh nai hona chahida goverment nu es bare sochna chahida hai.... ehna gallan da result bhut bura niklega ..... eh sariya gallan nafrat paida kar dindiya han te har sikh nu sochan lyi majboor kar dindiya han ki es tarah sade naal he kyn ho reha hai oh v apne he desh vich........ eh gallan thk nai han khatarnaak ho sakdiya han sab lyi

But y Amritsar?

Foreign coutries are an eception, but Amritsar :no

Even foreign countries are not exception, if a country allow freedom of religion then it should be for everyone. It's just that many westerns don't understand Sikh religious values.
Many legal organizations are fighting cases for Sikh rights, California recently included chapter on Sikhs in police training course, a case is going on with TSA (airport security in USA).
But if India, where Sikhs always sacrificed their lives, will ban then we will lose ground for all the work going abroad.

It is not only about kirpan, it is about Sikh Rehat. This ban is going to break jeevan of a rehatvan Sikh.

Please support a precedent setting Court case of a GurSikh who is taking the Polish Border Guard to Court for demanding the removal of turbans at airport security checks... Over the past 18 months the case has made the media wake up. The Sikh, a graduate of a Polish University and a fluent Polish speaker, who has been visiting Poland for over forty years was given a series of demeaning checks... He wrote dozens of letters, offered all manner of information, approached many senior Polish Govt officials - and now has a Polish MP supporting him. The Human Rights organisation The Helsinki Foundation id also supporting him. The Case has had four hearings - in the midst of these hearings the Border Guards have again humiliated him - now their treatment on his departures have turned vindictive. In Court the Border Guard Defence lawyer admitted that a Sikh turban is NOT equivalent to a hat or a cap. Its removal should be the last form of check, if the metal detector, hand checks and other forms show that there is a need to remove the turban. Please write to CordobaTom@gmail.com for more information and to express support, Details for writing letters of outrage, addressed to Polish officials, can be had from that email address
