It might have been many years since we have passed the incident of 9/11. But the American governments still seem to be over cautious while reacting for their own suspicions. Even the top Indian leaders were stripped naked in US airports to confirm that they are not armed. In a fresh incident, a Sikh designer `Waris Ahluwalia’ was forced to remove his turban in public for a search. The incident took place in the city of Mexico while Ahluwalia was trying to return back to the New York city where he lives. While Ahluwalia refused to remove his turban, he wasn’t allowed to board the flight. A turban is often thought to be the integral part of a Sikh and removing them in public is akin to be naked. Netizens poured out their criticisms as Ahluwalia posted the incident on the Twitter. But the Aeromexico airlines which was the cause for the issue, was cool in reacting to the situation. They have brushed it off as a part of of regular check up!
