This never happened before, got disappointed in Diljit’s concert Paramveer told that this is the first time that he was stopped from entering somewhere because of Kirpan.

It is a sacred symbol of our faith.” He chose to leave the concert because of his faith. If one is not allowed to carry a symbol of one’s religion, Chah will not go inside. We may lose money, but cannot compromise faith.

Jathedar Giani Kuldeep Singh Gadgaj has condemned this matter.
Indian government should talk to Australian government On the other hand, in this matter, Jathedar Giani Kuldeep Singh Gadgaj said – it is not only about Australia, but also about India. In Rajasthan, our daughter was not allowed to appear in the examination due to shortcomings. When we associated ourselves with the Government of India in 1947, it was their duty to take care of our rights.
Jathedar said that now when we are going to celebrate the 350th martyrdom day of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji, we should remember that he gave martyrdom only to save the identity of Hindus. Guru’s martyrdom is for the freedom of human rights.
Gadgaj said that human rights and religious freedom should be restored all over the world. These Kakars have been given by the Gurus and this is the sign of the Guru. Sikhs keep them safe. Therefore, such unfortunate incident should not happen anywhere. The Indian government should also talk to the administration there and the incidents that happen should also be stopped.
