In New Zealand, the Sikh community has once again witnessed protests over Nagar Kirtan. Let us tell you that Nagar Kirtan was not stopped during this time, but Brian Tamaki and his supporters took to the streets and protested by dancing the traditional haka. During this he also raised slogans.
The protestors said that who allowed swords and flags to be waved on public roads and they will not allow any compromise with their country’s culture. They claimed that they would not allow the roads and streets to be used to harm the local culture in any way.
On the other hand, the Sikh youth maintained restraint during the entire incident and continued the Nagar Kirtan in a peaceful manner. It is interesting to note that about 20 days ago there was a similar protest in the Manurewa area of South Auckland, where the Nagar Kirtan had to be stopped for some time due to their protest. At that time, the police reached the spot and took control of the situation.
