ਬਠਿੰਡਾ 'ਚ 3 ਸਿੱਖ ਵਿਥਿਆਰਥੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਕਿਰਪਾਨ ਅਤੇ ਕੜਾ ਉਤਾਰਨ ਲਈ ਪਰੇਸ਼ਾਨ ਕੀਤਾ ਗਿਆ

Gurdeep Singh Mann, Tribune News Service, Bathinda, July 25

Three baptised Sikh students were allegedly harassed during AIPMT re-examination at Kendriya Vidyalaya No. 1 in Bathinda Cantonment.

The three students wearing “kirpan” (sword as religious symbol) and “kara” (bangle) were told to remove these before appearing for the exam.

The students and their relatives alleged that the unnecessary pressure created by the principal for over 20 minutes upset not only them but other candidates as well. Principal Sushila Sehrawat claimed: “No such incident took place at the school.”

The students and their parents, however, alleged the principal was unrelenting as she kept stressing that baptised Sikh students won’t be allowed to take exam unless they took off their religious symbols.

The students were allowed to appear in the exam after much persuasion by family members.

Sarwan Singh, who was with one of the students, said: “We were shocked over the treatment meted out to the students. The symbols are integral part of our religious beliefs and thus these cannot be removed at any cost.”

A girl student was asked to remove the symbols by the school staff on the orders of the principal, he alleged. The matter was resolved after her family members raised a hue and cry over the matter.

SGPC president Avtar Singh Makkar termed the incident unfortunate and said appropriate action would be initiated.

In another incident at a private school in Bathinda, parents of some students raised a hue and cry when a judicial officer was allegedly given special treatment while entering the school to ensure proper seat for his kin.
