Sikh Gurdwara Management committee president Manjinder Singh Sirsa said a recent German court ruling that makes helmets compulsory for Sikhs infringed upon their religious freedom—another voice that adds to a growing outrage from the community.
In a tweet, Sirsa expressed his concern over the “harsh law”.
He wrote: “This order by a top German Court infringes with the rights of Sikhs as they already wear turban In the UK & in many provinces of Canada, Sikhs are exempt from wearing helmets on motorcycles We request @GermanyDiplo to file a review & request the Court to reconsider its decision”.
