There has been a lot of uproar over a controversial post at Britain's famous Birmingham University and the university has had to apologize after that.

According to a press report posted by the university on its Social Media account, the 20th Langar on Campus organized by the university's Sikh Society earlier this month. . . The program was a part of Islamic Awareness Week and was accompanied by pictures of Langar. It was also written that, Discover Islamic Week. . . . .

After this post, Sikh Press Association spokesperson Jasveer Singh said that seeing the information presented by the university is disappointing as well as surprising. The people who are charged with upholding the image of the University of Birmingham have no knowledge of the various communities. There is a deficiency in the training provided by the university to its employees. The Sikh community has been a part of this university for decades.

Some other people also criticized the university after seeing this post and after that the spokesperson of the university said that the university sincerely apologizes to those whose feelings were hurt due to this post. We believe that the post was in error but the post was removed after the error was noticed. The University is proud of the diversity of students on its campus and we respect each community. We have also approached the concerned individuals and organizations to apologize and seek their views.
