On his induction, Singh was quoted as saying that community was in the Sikh blood.
“The founders of Sikh people, they have been standing up for the rights of the community all the time,” he was quoted as saying by an ABC report. “Back in India right now, the Sikh Regiment is the most prestigious and significant part of Indian army,” he said. He added that “So this is hereditary. Every Sikh person would like to serve the community if given the opportunity.”
