Amritsar: Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Raghbir Singh has taken strong note of the incident of images depicting Sikhs in the form of Taliban and Ku Klux Klan in the religious curriculum of some schools in the UK.
In a release issued in Punjab’s Amritsar on Friday, he said that “Sikhs were a distinct and unique community and had no connection with fanatic groups” like the Taliban and Ku Klux Klan.Associating Sikh identity with the Taliban had deeply hurt the Sikh sentiments, the Jathedar said.
He said that although, following the protests by UK Sikhs, the Oasis Community Learning Multi-Academy Trust had apologised for its mistake and had assured to remove the objectionable images along with these extremist groups, it was an insensitive act.
