Chandigarh : President of the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) and Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal today urged Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid to safeguard the rights of Sikhs living in Canada's Quebec province.
The Quebec assembly proposes to impose a ban on the turban and kirpan as also the Muslim and jew headgear. The Deputy Chief Minister said the move to target the minorities could not be accepted. He said a delegation of Akali MPs would call on the Prime Minister and the External Affairs Minister in this regard.
