'Why can't govt do something about it'

CHANDIGARH: Ace golfer Gaganjeet Bhullar on Wednesday hit out at Indian government for failing to check the growing incidents of Sikh's being subjected to discriminatory treatment around the world.

His reaction came after Jeev Milka Singh's coach Amritinder Singh was asked to take off his turban at Italy airport during security checks on Tuesday. "It's a shame that Sikhs have to face this treatment time and again. India has a prime minister, who himself is a Sikh, yet it keeps happening again and again.

His government has totally failed in this regard. He has done nothing to protect Sikhs from this unfair and shameful treatment. We keep hearing of such incidents almost every month. Why can't our government do something about it? Why are we always helpless?" he asked.
