“In a democracy, it is essential that all communities are represented proportionally in the government. Sikhs have been part of American social fabric for more than a hundred years. Their growing numbers must also have an apt representation in the government. This is more significant than ever, in the wake of the rise in racial attacks against the community in recent times,” said Gurpreet Singh, CEO,UNITED SIKHS.
