In a press release, Ramoowalia said: “While efforts to involve the Sikh diaspora all over the world by Prime Minister are appreciable, but keeping Sikhs out of the 175-year-old highly decorated regiment was not fair.”

He said the BJP-led Centre should have detailed deliberations with the Sikhs, in particular, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, the SGPC and top Army Generals and officers from the community, before taking any major step on the future of the force. —
