For the first time in the history of France, a deputy mayor has been elected in the election of a turbaned Sikh municipality. Ranjit Singh Goraya, a young man who won the election from Bobini town, belongs to Sekha village in Gurdaspur district of Punjab.
Sardar Ranjit Singh, a native of France, was elected the first Sikh Sardar Deputy Mayor of Bobigny, France.
It is a very honorable achievement for Sikhs that where turban is banned in schools and colleges, a young Sikh wearing a turban is elected as Deputy Mayor.He studied in a private college wearing a turban and later obtained a master’s degree in law and economics from the famous University of Sorbonne in France.When the turban was banned in France in 2004, the Sikhs of France staged a protest in France.Ranjit Singh, who was expelled from Government College in 2004 for wearing a turban, now has been elected the first turbaned Sikh deputy mayor of Bobigny, France. Pride moment for Sikh Community.
