Offensive food
Sikhs in Bangalore have been protesting (via) against a restaurant in the city because the menu included some pictures which they decided had hurt their feelings.
Over 50 Sikhs, who clearly had nothing better to worry about, gathered in front of the restaurant, tore up and set fire to a menu card and then marched off to the local police statement to file a complaint.
Gurudwara Committee president, Gursharan Singh claimed that some of the pictures on the menu – including a Kirpan (sword) and turban kept along with the footwear – somehow “humiliated” members of the community. He then went on to issue the inevitable threat:
“If the hotel management fails to tender a public apology through media or send a written apology to the Gurudwara, Bangalore’s Sikh community - comprising 8,000 members - will stage a massive dharna to prevent them from carrying out their business,” he warned.
