A Sikh IPS officer, wearing a turban and deputed in Sandeshkhali to prevent Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Suvendu Adhikari from visiting the island, on Tuesday criticised leaders of the saffron party for allegedly calling him a ‘Khalistani’.
“Just because I am wearing a turban, you people are calling me a Khalistani? Is this that you have learnt? If a police officer wears a turban and performs his duty honestly, he becomes a Khalistani for you? Shame on you,” IPS officer Jaspreet Singh was heard saying to the BJP workers. The officer added that he was only trying to do his job. “Did I say anything about your religion? Why are you speaking about my religion?” he said.
