Sikhs allowed kirpans inside stadiums during 2012 Olympics | Sikhs can heave a sigh of relief as
kirpans have been exempted from the list of “restricted” items that would not
allowed inside the stadiums during the London Olympics. The ceremonial daggers
carried by Sikhs are said to be fine, as it is part of their religious tradition,
the Daily Star reported. In the Games Maker Pocket Guide, a host of “prohibited”
items include guns, bombs, crossbows and all knives, including those for picnics.
Bikes, roller skates and large bags will also be confiscated by security staff.
The guidelines read: “If a restricted item is identified...the owner will be advised
that the item is restricted and, as a condition of entry, must not be used within
any Games.” Someone with a picnic could be told to take it in but not eat it.
The book also warns: “In extreme cases this could result in...ejection of the
spectator.”
