Sikh comedian forced to remove turban

 

Just a few days after Waris Ahluwalia, a Sikh actor and designer was restricted from boarding a flight to New York, after he refused to remove his turban for a security check, another scene sprouts up. This time it was Sikh comedian Jasmeet Singh that was halted at San Francisco airport. He was forced to remove his turban to make sure that he wasn’t carrying anything illegal! That was not the end of irony for Jasmeet, as he was asked to leave for a rest room to tie it again. The turbans are revered by Sikhs as a part of their body. It would be a damn insult for them to remove it in public. Airlines often do offer an apology for such mistreatment towards Sikhs. But, has to watch whether they have enough courtesy this time to apologize Jasmeet.
