A Sikh body on Wednesday endorsed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's recent remarks in the US regarding the community's rights, emphasizing their inherent right to religious and cultural freedoms.

In an official statement, Khushhal Singh, general secretary of Kendri Sri Guru Singh Sabha, praised Gandhi for acknowledging Sikhs' freedom to wear turbans and worship in gurdwaras, recognizing their distinct cultural identity.
