Speaking about Bhai Surinder Singh Atariwala, Advocate Dhami said that as a turban-wearing proven Sikh in the UK, he especially promoted the Punjabi language while teaching. Significant efforts were made to teach Punjabi language along with European languages in the government schools there, as a result of which the new generation became deeply attached to the Punjabi language.
