Houston :  The Legislature in the US state of Utah has unanimously passed a resolution honouring the Sikh community for their contributions and service to humanity despite facing “oppression and discrimination throughout the world”.

The resolution was introduced by Representative Angela Romero and Senator Luz Escamilla and passed last week, Kutv reported.

“The Senate unanimously passed H.J.R (House Joint Resolution) 4, a resolution highlighting the history and significant contributions of the Sikh community. We were joined by members of Utah’s Sikh community as well as those from India and other parts of the world,” a tweet from the Utah Senate read.
