Dr. Parmjeet Parmar proposes a bill to expand religious text options for New Zealand police oaths.

Dr. Parmjeet Parmar, of ACT Ethnic Communities, proposes a bill to expand religious text options for oaths taken by New Zealand police graduates. Current legislation allows only the Bible, but Parmar's bill would include the Bible, New Testament, Old Testament, Gita, Gutka Sahib, Quran, and others. This move would reflect the diverse makeup of the force and support religious freedom, choice, and pluralism for police recruitment.
