In continuation to peaceful protests against FIBA banning two budding Indian Sikh sports stars Amritpal Singh and Amjyot Singh, who were asked to remove their Turban in Wuhan, which had recently led to a great indignation among the Sikh community across the world. Akal Academy Kajri too joined this move to protest FIBA’s discriminatory decision alongwith other 128 Akal Academies. Getting impulse from The Kalgidhar Education Trust, Baru Sahib, the students of the Academy staged their silent and peaceful protest by playing friendly basket ball match in symbolic teams wearing Turban to show the large community that turban can’t harm anyone rather a Turban is an identity of true peace loving people living harmoniously across the globe. Since centuries, Turban has been a part of religious and cultural heritage which a Sikh wears on his head and the Federation must respect that.
