Patiala, April 6
An awareness seminar for students was held at the Queen’s Colden Centre, New York, by the Panthic Sikh Society and the Sikh Student Federation. Dr Harshindar Kaur from India was the keynote speaker at the programme.
Talking to The Tribune over phone from New York, Dr Harshindar Kaur informed she delivered a factual talk about female foeticide and underlined the reasons goading the people to indulge in this social evil. She exhorted the young to shun the practice of dowry and offered a petition against the dowry system to be signed by willing youngsters.
Surprisingly, boys were more enthusiastic and signed the petition in large numbers. The signed petitions were added to the petitions signed in Canada, Europe, England and India. They would be submitted to the UNO.
