‘Sikh religious symbols permitted during exams': Rajasthan govt after ‘anger' in community
Following 'anger in the Sikh community' after a baptised Sikh student was allegedly denied entry to the Rajasthan High Court Civil Judge recruitment exam while wearing a kirpan, the Rajasthan government has reiterated that Sikh students be allowed entry to competitive examinations while wearing their religious symbols. Citing a December 2019 circular issued by former Congress government under Ashok Gehlot, the Bhajan Lal Sharma government has said that 'the candidates of Sikh religion should be allowed to appear in the examination wearing religious symbols like Kada, Kirpan and Pagdi etc. in various competitive examinations conducted by Rajasthan Public Service Commission, Rajasthan Staff Selection Board and other departments such as Technical and Higher Education, Medical Education, School Education, Director General of Police, etc.' The government has said that general instructions can be issued to the candidates of Sikh religion to report to the examination centre an hour before the examination. But, 'if during screening, any Sikh candidate is found carrying any suspicious device within the mentioned religious symbols, then they should not be allowed to take it in the examination hall'. On Sunday, candidate Gurpreet Kaur, a native of Tarn Taran district in Punjab, had made a video outside the exam centre in Jaipur claiming that she was denied entry because she was wearing articles of Sikh faith. This had led to criticism from various quarters, including from Giani Kuldip Singh Gargaj, the Officiating Jathedar of Sri Akal Takht Sahib. 'This is a serious violation of the Indian Constitution and religious discrimination against Sikhs,' Gargaj had said. He cited Article 25, Explanation I of the Constitution, which affirms the right of Sikhs to wear the kirpan as part of their religious practice. The Jathedar noted that a similar incident took place during last year's recruitment process in Jaipur and Jodhpur, and said written communication from the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) and other Sikh organisations had already been sent to the Rajasthan government. 'Despite that, the same injustice is being repeated,' he had said. The Rajasthan State Minority Commission had also sent a letter to the concerned officials after the latest incident, while citing some other similar incidents. The directive by Additional Chief Secretary (Home) Bhaskar A Sawant states: 'Due to the non-effective compliance of the [2019] circular, such incidents have taken place and there is anger in the Sikh community'. The latest directive also cites the 2019 circular on the Freedom of Religion as enshrined in the Indian Constitution and a Delhi High Court order to allow carrying of religious symbols in examination halls. BJP's Sadulshahar MLA Gurveer Singh said: 'We acknowledge and thank Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma ji for addressing this vital issue with clarity and sensitivity. Now the onus is on Sikh students to uphold the sanctity and morality of the symbols'.

Black buck poaching case: Rajasthan HC to hear actor Salman Khan's appeal on September 22
The Rajasthan High Court on Monday fixed September 22 to hear actor Salman Khan's appeal against his conviction in a black buck poaching case. Justice Manoj Kumar Garg would hear Khan's appeal along with the state government's leave to appeal against the acquittal of the co-accused, including Saif Ali Khan, Tabu, Sonali Bendre, Neelam and a local Dushyant Singh. The trial court convicted the actor and sentenced him to five years' imprisonment on April 5, 2018. The development in the high court took place after both petitions were clubbed and listed for hearing following the transfer of Khan's appeal to the high court from the district and sessions court. "Salman Khan's lawyers had earlier filed a transfer petition in the high court against his sentence from the district and session court, so that the appeal filed against him could be clubbed with the appeal filed by the state government," said prosecution's counsel Mahipal Bishnoi. The transfer was delayed due to some technical reasons and hence the hearing in both the appeals had been stalled since long, he added. In 1998, during the shooting of the film "Hum Saath Saath Hain", Khan was accused of hunting two blackbucks in Kankani village of Jodhpur district. While Khan, the main accused, was sentenced by the chief judicial magistrate's court (Jodhpur district), Saif Ali Khan, Bendre, Tabu, Neelam, and Singh were acquitted. Khan filed a criminal appeal against his conviction whereas the state government filed a leave to appeal against the acquittal of the co-accused persons. PTI
