Sirsa is a prominent Sikh Leader known for taking up righteous issues related to Sikhs and justice for victims of 1984 Sikh Genocide within India and abroad. He is the sitting MLA of Rajouri Garden, New Delhi on BJP and Akali Dal seat registering a huge win over his opponents in 2017 bypolls. He is also the President of [[Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee]], elected second time in a row, first in 2013 and then again in 2017.
 
He led the move for the separate marriage act for the Sikh community and was the first one to get his marriage registered under the act so as to lead by example for the members of the community.
 
He had challenged [[Amitabh Sinha]]’s move to rename [[Dyal Singh College, Delhi|Dyal Singh Evening College]] in New Delhi to Vande Mataram College. Led by Union Minister [[Harsimrat Kaur Badal]], he fought for this anti-minority move and restored the legacy of S. Dyal Singh Majithia, the man who had donated the funds and the building to the college.
 
Sirsa has been raising a strong voice in favour of celebrating Children’s Day in [[India]] in the name of Chaar Sahibzaade. He along with MP [[Parvesh Verma]] has also got signatures of nearly 60 MPs done to request the same thing to PM [[Narendra Modi]]. Sirsa has also written a letter to PMO India requesting [[NCERT]] to include a chapter on Chaar Sahibzaade in History books. This request has been accepted and NCERT books would soon feature a chapter on the bravery and life of the four sons of Sri [[Guru Gobind Singh]] Ji. He was instrumental in organizing the First National Conclave dedicated to Children’s Day which was graced by the presence of Union Minister [[Smriti Irani]] and SAD President [[Sukhbir Singh Badal]].
 
It was due to persistent efforts of Sirsa that Union Health Ministry had issued an order banning [[Hookah]] Bars in [[National Capital Region (India)|NCR]]. Thereafter, on July 17 this year, Sirsa met the LG to get this order implemented. Again armed with the LG’s order, Sirsa handed over copies of the order to the SHO to get the Hookah bars closed in the national Capital.
 
Sirsa has been fighting for Sikhs’ rights to wear Kakaars in the country and abroad. He has written letter to former CM of Karnataka requesting them to withdraw Ban on Kirpan. He has been actively supporting people of all religions stranded outside India by tweeting to Foreign Minister Ms [[Sushma Swaraj]].
 
Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management committee (DSGMC) with active participation of Sirsa has been organizing a two-day commemorative event Delhi Fateh Diwas starting from 2015 to mark Khalsa's victory on Delhi in 1783 when Sikh generals led by [[Baghel Singh]] hoisted Khalsa flag at [[Red Fort]]. He also played a key role in proposed installation of statue of Sikh Jarnails in [[Delhi]].
 
Sirsa got FIR registered against the car owner who killed Gurpreet Singh on objection to public smoking. He has also taken a strong stand in support of compensation for Ankit Saxena, the young man who was killed by Muslim girlfriend's family.
