MILWAUKEE (Diya TV) —
Harmeet Dhillon, a prominent Sikh Republican attorney, has drawn significant attention for offering an Ardas, a traditional Sikh prayer, at the Republican National Convention (RNC). Dhillon’s prayer, intended to seek blessings and guidance, sparked online support and criticism.
Dhillon, who has long been an influential figure within the Republican Party, took the stage at the RNC to offer the Ardas for former President Donald Trump. Her prayer aimed to seek divine intervention and support for Trump, who is currently navigating various legal and political challenges. While some praised Dhillon for her courage and dedication to her faith, many others viewed her actions as a means of turning religion into politics.
Harmeet Dhillon is a well-known lawyer and a staunch supporter of the Republican Party. Born in India, Dhillon moved to the United States at a young age and has since built a successful career in law and politics. She has served as the chairwoman of the Republican National Lawyers Association.
Dhillon received support from fellow Republicans and some members of the Sikh community who appreciated her efforts to maintain her religious identity in the political arena. They argued that Dhillon’s prayer was a personal expression of faith and that she should practice her religion as she sees fit.
On the other hand, there were debates about the appropriateness of religious expressions such as this in political settings.
