:dateline: Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC) vice-president and Guruharsahai�Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) Rana Gurmit Singh Sodhi on Thursday questioned Narendra Modi about not taking a turbaned Sikh into the Union cabinet.

Spot lighting the Sikh contribution to the country, he said, �So far, Sikhs have always found a place in the Union Cabinet. But Modi has broken the norm, and is hurting Sikhs.�

�Even non-Congress governments headed by Morarji Desai and HD Deve Gowda gave representation to the Sikhs. It is baffling why Modi has ignored turbaned Sikhs while forming his Cabinet. �Modi was vocal in seeking their support while campaigning in Punjab, but has decided not to have a turbaned Sikh as minister,� he said.
