US: Modi puppet rode on car with banner: "I could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue & get away with it"
New York: In a surprising turn of events today, a massive puppet resembling Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi made its way down Fifth Avenue in New York City. The puppet, riding in a convertible, displayed a banner with a provocative message reminiscent of a statement made by former presidential candidate Donald Trump in 2016.
The event, organized by Hindu, Sikh, and Muslim diaspora groups, aimed to draw attention to the alleged strategy of the Indian government in intimidating and assassinating US citizens of Indian descent and other activists abroad.
The collaborative effort of these diaspora organizations underscored a pressing issue, raising concerns about the implications for international relations and human rights.
The protest follows a series of alarming incidents, including an alleged attempt by Indian authorities to assassinate a US citizen in New York and the killing of a Canadian Sikh activist. The FBI even issued warnings to activists in California about similar threats, pointing to a disturbing pattern of behavior.
Voices from the diaspora, such as Sunita Viswanath of Hindus for Human Rights and Safa Ahmed of the Indian American Muslim Council, emphasized the seriousness of the situation.
They called on President Biden to acknowledge and communicate unequivocally that American lives, especially those of the diaspora, are to be protected.
The event in New York City was an act of protest, prompting urgent action to address the alleged cross-border violence. It highlighted the crucial role of democratic nations in safeguarding the rights and lives of individuals globally.
