Sikh in US denied neurology job for religious appearance; files lawsuit

A Sikh doctor in the US, Jaswinder Pal Singh, has filed a lawsuit against an American medical organisation alleging he was denied a neurology job for his religious appearance.<br/><br/>Though the recruiter praised Singh's credentials in phone interviews, Singh was allegedly abruptly denied further interviews after he submitted photographs of himself, along with additional information on Sikhs and Sikhism. <br/><br/>The lawsuit seeks to secure a court order requiring that both defendants, the employer Premier Medical Group and its recruiter Arthur Marshall Inc, implement anti-discrimination policies, practices and training to ensure that they do not discriminate against any future applicants.
