The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee has strongly opposed any move to introduce 🧜ballistic helmets for Sikh soldiers.
A delegat💦ion of the SGPC, the apex religious body of the Sikhs, met the National Commission for Minorities (NCM) chief to discuss the issue.
The SGPC delegation said no interference in the matter of Sikh identity willꦯ be tolerated. Therefore, under no circumstances the helmets can be accepted on Sikh soldiers, they said.
The remarks come amid reports that introduction of ballis♈tic heꦓlmets for Sikh soldiers is being considered.
The SGPC delegation on Friday attended the meeting at the NCM office in New Delhi. The delegation included SGPC general secret𒅌ary Gurcharan 🦩Singh Grewal and member Raghbir Singh Saharan Majra.
It registered a strong objection before NCM chairperson Iqbal Singh Lalpura to𒈔 the government's reported proposal to make Sikh soldiers wear helmets and made a point that there can be no discussion ꦰor reasoning on this issue.
