After Holding Fort in Mexico City, Waris Ahluwalia to Return to NY Tomorrow

NEW YORK : As per the Sikh Coalition, the Aero Mexico has issued a directive to its staff regarding the religious significance of the Sikh turban. The directive has come after a protest by Waris Ahluwalia following the airline’s refusal to allow him to board the plane with his turban.
Waris had earlier said in a TV interview that he will not take the flight back until the airline promised to provide training to its employees. In the interview he said, “I am not here alone for myself, or for the Sikhs. No one should have to go through this.”
As per the Sikh Coalition, Waris Ahluwalia will be heading to New York tomorrow. The Sikh Coalition plans to make a formal request to the TSA and the Mexican government to implement religious and diversity sensitivity training regarding screening of passengers with religious headwear into its airport security training curriculum. Waris Ahluwalia received much support through social media channels. Thousands of people tweeted in his support as they condemned the airline for racial profiling.
