 “I wasn’t going to post this, but I don’t think I will receive any support from @unccharlotte. I was told someone called 911 and reported me, and I got cuffed for “resisting” because I refused to let the officer take my kirpan out of the miyaan. @CLTNinerNews,” Amaan tweeted.

According to Sikhism, the kirpan is the five articles of faith, often called the 5Ks; Kesh, Kangha, Kara, Kachhera, and Kirpan. It is worn by Amritdhari Sikhs, both men, and women. Kirpan is a reminder of their faith, including justice, charity, morality, humility, and equality.
