Sikh's meeting: Educating the Community

Posted: Updated:
CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) -

It's an effort to educate and understand. Sunday, members of Charlotte's Sikh community met with members of the U.S. Attorney's Office, FBI and CMPD.

The idea: replace fear with trust.

They wanted to have a meaningful, productive and candid talk. This is part of an on-going discussion to address concerns in the wake of the recent shooting at temple in Wisconsin.

Ajay Singh says, "we wanna do our part in every which way to increase the awareness and education and bring the issues locally here."

In October, an anti-bully summit will be held in Charlotte in cooperation with CMS and the Sikh community to help children begin to understand cultural differences and get along better.
