In his words “The attitude of my fellow trainees and officers was very good towards me. Nobody ever forced me to do anything against my religious beliefs.” He said he had no problems wearing his kara (bangle), or keeping his kirpan (dagger) on him. He added that, as he was a vegetarian, green meals were arranged for him in the mess during the training period.” When he was appointed as the Traffic police warden, he became the first ever Sikh to be a traffic inspector. In addition to his job which he has been doing with great responsibility and dedication, Gulab is a devout Sikh, loves Punjabi language and is fond of Punjabi bhangra & music and his favourite singers are Abrar-ul-Haq, Harbajhan Maan and Waris Baig. Like a true Sikh, he loves his country Pakistan and is prepared to do anything for it. To quote him “I will do my duty honestly, work like a true and dutiful citizen, and dream of a corruption-free atmosphere.” A person, so learned, so dutiful, so patriotic and excellent human being is definately a Gursikh role model.
