SGPC has decided to support NRI Ripudman Singh, who has been convicted and fined in Denmark for wearing Kirpan.

A decision to this effect was taken at a meeting of the seven-member sub-committee of the SGPC, said a member of the sub-committee and SGPC Executive Hardeep Singh Mohali.

He said it was decided to extend moral, financial and legal support to Ripudman Singh.

Legal experts have studied the Denmark Court judgement imposing a fine of 3000 kroners on Singh for wearing Kirpan, and expert opinion has been given to the NRI Sikh for filing an appeal in the competent court abroad, he said.

Mohali said the conviction of Ripudman couldn't be considered as an individual case as it concerned the entire Sikh Panth.
