Religious discrimination lawsuit by Sikh |
Jaswinder Pal Singh of Kentucky is a licensed and board certified physician practising in the area of neurology.The Sikh Coalition has filed the lawsuit alleging that Singh, an observant Sikh physician who keeps a religiously mandated turban and beard, was denied a neurology job after the employer and recruiter inquired into his religious appearance.Though the recruiter praised Singh`s credentials in phone interviews, Singh was allegedly abruptly denied further interviews after he submitted photographs of himself. No Sikh in any job or profession should ever be denied employment because of their religion. Defendants failed and refused to hire (Singh) for the available neurologist position at Premier Medical Group because of his race (South Asian/Punjabi), colour, religion (Sikh) and/or national origin (Indian), the lawsuit alleges.
