SGPC arranges turbans for bare-headed Sikh deportees
AMRITSAR: Around two dozen Sikhs among the 116 illegal Indian immigrants deported from the US to Amritsar on Saturday were bareheaded, without any turbans or patkas. The turban is one of the articles of faith in Sikhism.
A Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) team, with help from the airport staff, reportedly procured patkas for such deportees. Later, they arranged a bus and langar for them.
Sufficient turbans would be kept at the airport Sunday when another flight with deportees is expected, an SGPC official said, adding the issue would be taken up with US government.
