Srinagar : Kashmiri Sikh Leader Indumeet Singh  has strongly  condemned the incident of forcing baptized Sikh students to remove their articles of Sikh faiths during the NEET exam held on Sunday  in Srinagar.

In a statement Indumeet Singh has said , “the Indian constitution allows Sikhs to carry their ‘Kirpans’ even in domestic flights, but some radical elements don’t miss any opportunity to exploit Sikhs to make them realize their second class citizenship status in the country”.

“I demand strict action against the NEET officials who asked students to remove Kakaars” adding he said ” Sikh students from far flung areas of Kashmir valley  who travelled to Srinagar to appear in the examination with dreams and aspirations in their eyes were made to return home with tears in their eyes”.
