Challenge of Institutional Neutrality

Controversial Remarks on Sikh Identity
Rahul Gandhi also addressed a question from a Sikh individual during his U.S. tour, stating, “Today, the fight is whether Sikhs can wear their turbans and kadas in India or not.” This statement has sparked controversy, with some Sikh organizations and activists boycotting his speech.
