Turban is very important in Sikh faith and it is an integral part of Sikh dress.

Sikhs all over the world wear turban and are working on various top positions, whereas, in their own country India, turbans are being challenged\u201d, said Advocate Dhami, adding that the suppression of religious freedom of Sikhs can never be in the interest of the country.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Meanwhile, the SGPC President has also demanded the intervention of the Prime Minister of India in this matter and issuance of instructions to every state to uphold the religious freedom of the people.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;SGPC President strictly demanded from the Karnataka government to take strict action against the people who committed such an act to protect religious freedom of Sikhs and hold accountability of those people who are obstructing the same.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;
