To Hon’ble Prime Minister of India Shri Narendra Modi Ji Government of India April 16, 2026 Subject: Urgent Concern Regarding Alleged Denial of Sikh Religious Rights to a School Student Respected Prime Minister Ji, On behalf of the North American Punjabi Association (NAPA), we are writing to bring to your urgent attention a deeply concerning incident reported from an educational institution, where a Sikh schoolgirl was allegedly prevented from covering her head and wearing keshki/kiran, which are recognised and compulsory articles of faith in Sikhism. If these reports are accurate, the incident raises serious concerns regarding the protection of religious freedom, individual dignity, and the constitutional rights guaranteed to every citizen of India. The right to practice and express one’s faith is a foundational principle of the Indian Constitution and must be equally protected in all institutions, including private educational establishments. For the Sikh community, religious articles of faith are not optional cultural symbols but sacred and inseparable elements of identity and spiritual discipline. Any restriction imposed on a student in this regard not only affects personal faith but also risks creating an environment of exclusion and discrimination within educational spaces. We respectfully urge your good office to ensure that this matter is reviewed with seriousness and that appropriate directions are issued to concerned authorities to safeguard the rights of Sikh students and all religious minorities. It is also important that clear and uniform guidelines are established so that no student in India is ever compelled to choose between education and faith. India has long been recognized as a pluralistic democracy where diversity of faith is a strength. Preserving this spirit requires continuous vigilance to ensure that institutional practices do not unintentionally undermine constitutional protections. We trust that your leadership will address this concern with the urgency and sensitivity it deserves.

ਪੰਜਾਬ ਵਿੱਚ 2015 ਦੀਆਂ ਬੇਅਦਬੀ ਘਟਨਾਵਾਂ ਦੀ ਸਾਜ਼ਿਸ਼ 2007 ਤੋਂ ਹੀ ਸ਼ੁਰੂ ਹੋ ਚੁੱਕੀ ਸੀ ਅਤੇ ਇਸ ਦੇ ਤਾਰ 2017 ਦੇ ਮੌੜ ਬੰਬ ਧਮਾਕੇ ਨਾਲ ਵੀ ਜੁੜਦੇ ਹਨ। ਮੈਂ ਹਰ ਵਿਧਾਨ ਸਭਾ ਸੈਸ਼ਨ ਦੌਰਾਨ ਇਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਮਾਮਲਿਆਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਕਾਰਵਾਈ ਬਾਰੇ ਲਗਾਤਾਰ ਸਵਾਲ ਚੁੱਕ ਰਿਹਾ ਹਾਂ। ਮੁੱਖ ਮੰਤਰੀ @BhagwantMann ਬੇਅਦਬੀ ਕੇਸਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ "ਕਾਂ" ਮਾਰ ਕੇ ਟੰਗਣ ਦੀ ਗੱਲ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਨ, ਪਰ ਹਕੀਕਤ ਇਹ ਹੈ ਕਿ 2015 ਦੇ ਕੇਸਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਨਾਮਜ਼ਦ ਲੋਕਾਂ ’ਤੇ ਮੁਕੱਦਮਾ ਚਲਾਉਣ ਲਈ ਫ਼ਾਇਲ ਖੁਦ ਮੁੱਖ ਮੰਤਰੀ ਨੇ ਹੀ ਰੋਕੀ ਹੋਈ ਹੈ। #JusticeForSacrilege
