It's a heads-I-win-tails-you-loose situation for Singhal. If Singhal had said that Sikhs are Hindus half of psecwadis would have called him a racists bigot for not respecting the Sikhs choice and identity and a bunch of Hindus imposing their faith on other minorities.
When Singhal had said Sikhs are different commuinty and one which is source of pride and admiration of our nation, we have other half of the psecwadi rascals getting their undies twisted into knots as is evident in the posts at expressindia site.
