We've just finished a 4 year long disability discrimination case in a Wolverhampton gurdwara because of the exact same issue. Elderly + disabled being forced to sit outside darbar + segregated in langar hall. This is appalling and unacceptable behaviour. https://t.co/YMDFGjJK6V — Ajit Singh Juss (@NihangAjitSingh) March 30, 2018

Why has this happened??? So angry ! We should allow anyone and everyone into our gurudwara no matter what their caste colour religion or disability! #wakeup #disgrace #disappointment https://t.co/buNQGgcTDo — Sonia Panesar (@SoniaPanesarUK) March 30, 2018

This is disgusting. So depressing how organised religion ends up going in opposite direction to the original values of compassion and equality https://t.co/MaKQkInKoH — Sathnam Sanghera (@Sathnam) March 30, 2018

See here the relevant Hukamnamas by Akal Takht detailing their position on Chairs/Benches for disabled people in the Darbar & Langar Hall. Pay particular attention to the latest 2009 Hukamnama which provides that Gurdwaras must provide suitable seating provisions in the Darbar! pic.twitter.com/6U15Ds4GeK — Ajit Singh Juss (@NihangAjitSingh) April 3, 2018

British Sikhs expressed shock on social media today after a paralysed man said he was forced to sit outside while his cousin's wedding took place.Lux Phull said he was forced to sit outside the main hall at his cousin’s wedding and not allowed to sit in his chair, which he needs for his paralysed body.He said the incident took place today at Guru Maneyo Granth Gurdwara in Slough, a town to the west of London.He added he was "gutted and sad" and had been waiting for this day all year."Reasons they gave were crazy, not gonna let this go, not just for me but everyone with a disability," he added on Twitter. "Can’t believe we live in a world where ppl are discriminated by disabilities. Thought our religion treated us as one."Other Sikhs said they were appalled.has reached out to the Gurdwara in question, to the Sikh Council UK and the MP for Slough, Tan Dhesi, for comment. None have returned calls yet.It isn't the first time this controversy has arisen. Last year a Gurdwara in Wolverhampton was forced to remove screens that separated disabled Sikhs after settling a court case. Five Sikhs had taken the Gurdwara to court claiming discrimination.Wheelchair users say they have had no problems in Southall or Shepherds Bush, London, but not all Gurdwaras have the same policy. For years disabled people have reported discrimination at various Sikh places of worship.Sikhs believe that no one should be sitting higher than the Sri Guru Granth Sahib, the Sikh scripture. But in 2016 the Sikh Council held a meeting in London in which, it later said in a press release, there was unanimous support among Gurdwaras for making adjustments for disabled people.Sikh activists also say there is clear religious support for accommodating disabled people---This article has been updated with more background information.
