Pro-Khalistan group launches drive before Modi’s US visit
Lawmakers and human rights bodies invited to screening of BBC documentary on Modi's India.
ISLAMABAD: A day before Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s scheduled address to the US Congress, a pro-Khalistan group has invited lawmakers and human rights bodies to a screening of BBC documentary.
The documentary, “India: The Modi Question”, will be screened at an event organized at Cannon House Office building on the Capitol Hill on June 21.
According to a message received, announcing the screening of BBC documentary, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a New York+based lawyer and General Counsel to “Sikhs For Justice, the pro-Khalistan secessionist group stated: “the event at the Congressional Office Building is aimed at highlighting Modi’s culpability in the gross human rights violations – from 2002 massacre of Muslims to the ongoing unabated religious persecution and suppression of political dissent specially of the Sikh people of Punjab under PM Modi”.
SFJ has also launched an email campaign urging the members of the US Congress to question Modi as to “Why Indian constitution declares Sikh religion as part of Hindu religion and India labels Khalistan referendum as terrorism?”
The email campaign facilitates the American Sikhs to send emails to the US lawmakers.
