The leaders of the community apologized to the injured police officer, condemned the hooliganism and warned of damage to the image of the immigrant community.

  Diwali and Bandi Chhor Diwas celebrations at the Sikh Cultural Society Gurdwara in Richmond Hill, New York came under question when illegal fireworks were allegedly set off there. Many youths have been arrested on this occasion and illegal weapons have also been recovered from some youths. A police officer was also injured during this incident.


In the United Kingdom (UK), Canada and the United States, the community has expressed deep concern over the incident of fireworks being set off outside temples and gurdwaras and the resulting littering after Diwali celebrations.

Condemning the violence and violation of law, President of Sikh Cultural Society Inc, Richmond Hill, Jatinder Singh addressed a press conference and apologized unconditionally to the police officer who was injured during the incident in Richmond.

He said that on this occasion, thousands of devotees came to the Gurdwara to offer obeisance, but some mischievous elements disrupted the celebrations. He said that the Gurdwara Management Committee had made an agreement with the administration that fireworks would not be used, but some youth deliberately violated the restrictions.


He said, "If this incident had happened in India, the police would have dealt sternly with the accused. However, here the police handled the situation within the ambit of the law," and expressed concern over the embarrassment faced by the policemen belonging to the migrant community after the incident.
