NEW YORK: Reacting to the Tehelka sting operation on the 2002 Gujarat riots, a coalition of Indian-American organisations, the Indian National Overseas Congress and Indian Muslim Council-USA have demanded action against the persons who admitted on tape to participating in the post-Godhra massacre.
Coalition Against Genocide (CAG), comprising several Indian-American organisations which had successfully agitated against grant of US visa to Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi after the 2002 riots, urged the government in New Delhi to take immediate steps to arrest those who are seen "proudly admitting on camera to these crimes against humanity".
In a statement, CAG expressed "outrage" at the "impunity with which Narendra Modi and his cronies" have been operating.
"In spite of the well-documented reports of the international human rights groups the perpetrators of these heinous crimes have not been punished," it said.
"We urge the Indian diaspora in the US to unite against the supporters of Modi and RSS who have been infiltrating institutions run by the Indian diaspora as well as gaining and buying influence in the political, media, educational and economic spheres of the US. The Indian diaspora should unite against the fund-raising campaigns in the US by visiting Hindutva leaders," it added.
