Democrat Swarnjit Singh displays Sikh flag in office, criticised

Swarnjit Singh, the newly elected Democratic mayor of Norwich, faced social media backlash after a clip claimed he displayed a Sikh flag in his office and planned to recognise 53 cultural days in 2026, including Guru Gobind Singh Jayanti. Critics accused him of promoting identity politics over "American traditions", with one saying it wasn't "not civic unity" but "bureaucratic balkanisation".
