[Beidou2020]

This is definitely being done by the US government to name and shame Modi.

India is not even a country created by 'Indians'

There was not even a country called 'India' with a central government before the Brits conquered all those little backward Hindu kingdoms and colonised them and glued it together and called it 'India'.

Winston Churchill was the founding father of the union of 'India'.

Great Leap forward killed millions of Chinese people, and the regime responsible for the genocide still rules over Tibet and Xinxiang.

That's nothing compared to the genocide of 10 million Sikhs in Operation Bluestar by the barbaric Indian regime and its military goons.

They even destroyed the Sikh golden temple.

Did wikipedia knows that ?????

India has a great leap forward even now when millions of Indians die from mass starvation and disease

That's not taking into account the mass murder of Sikhs that are still going on.

When a Chinese dies, Chinese media doesn't even report, death and torture is so common.

U.S. court issues summons against Modi - The Hindu

Even before he touched down on U.S. soil after a nine-year visa ban, a federal court in New York has issued summons against the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his role in presiding over the anti-Muslim pogrom in Gujarat during 2002 when he was Chief Minister of the state.

The lawsuit, filed by the American Justice Center (AJC), a non-profit human rights organisation identified among the plaintiffs “two survivors of the horrific and organised violence of Gujarat 2002”, and called for a response from Mr. Modi based on the Alien Tort Claims Act (ATCA) and the Torture Victim Protection Act (TVPA).

Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, whose law firm represents the plaintiffs, explained via email to The Hindu that the summons issued by the Federal Court of Southern District of New York requires Mr. Modi to respond within 21 days after it is served.

The summons document, which also alludes to the 21-day deadline, notes that if the Prime Minster fails to answer the attached complaint, “Judgement by default will be entered against you for the relief demanded in the complaint,” adding that Mr. Modi was expected to file his answer or motion with the court.

Specifically the twenty-eight page complaint filed was said to seek compensatory and punitive damages and “charges PM Modi with committing crimes against humanity, extra-judicial killings, torture and inflicting mental and physical trauma on the victims, mostly from the Muslim community”.

Mr. Pannun further noted that the “default judgement”, which in other cases has been entered against defendants in their absence, would be a “declaration from Federal Court that 2002 killing of Muslims was ‘Genocide’ as per US and international law”, and possibly grant compensatory and punitive damages for the riot victims.

According to a statement by the plaintiffs the ATCA, also known as Alien Tort Statute (ATS), is a U.S. federal law first adopted in 1789 that gives federal courts jurisdiction to hear lawsuits filed by U.S. residents for acts committed in violation of international law outside the US.

Commenting on the summons issued by the John Bradley, a Director at the AJC said, “The Tort Case against Prime Minister Modi is an unequivocal message to human rights abusers everywhere… Time and place and the trappings of power will not be an impediment to justice”.

The AJC is scheduled to hold press conference on September 26 to clarify the implications of the lawsuit filed in terms of the legal path ahead in the survivors’ quest for justice, according to a statement the organisation issued.


Lo ji Secular welcome for Modi is also ready.

Modi's lawyer should slam Indian Supreme Court Judgement on US Court's face and let them find the answer.

Why does Modi need to prove anything to a corrupt and politicized Amerikan court. Did the Amerikan court stop slavery and genocide of Natives?

The US court doesn't have jurisdiction over India's internal matters, Modi will simply ignore it, like it never happened.

 

[Bang Galore]

Yes. We all know it, even the Court that issued the summon knows this.

The same way our courts summon will have no value either. Im rather sure it will happen nonetheless.

That's not probably how it works. The case would have been filed against Narendra Modi as an individual & Modi would have been given an opportunity to reply as in all cases. It would have to be the U.S. state department informing the court that the case can go no further because of Modi's immunity before the court shuts it down.

Modi would have been given opportunity to reply ONLY if he was served the summon. But how can the court official physically server the summon to the PM of India ? It is impossible.

It is unlikely foggy bottom will take the initiative to inform the court.

True. why I said it was pretty much useless. Unless someone is actually authorised to receive. Why they would I wouldn't know but maybe the legal advice will be different.

They will. There is a reason they are going all over board with the welcome, the last thing they want is some minor nuisance cropping up. In any case the State department has really no choice. He has blanket immunity & the court will have to be made aware of it. Officially.

This Summon is to Modi the person, not to the PMO, so nobody is authorised to collect it except Modi himself.

We assume our PM visit is a bid deal. Reality is that its not such a big deal for the US govt. or Obama as he is on his last legs of his presidency. US presidents receive head of state of every nation on the planet. Especially when the UN session is ON.

NaMo visit is a big deal for India to convince a lot of US Industries to invest in India. No Govt. to Govt. deal is likely to be signed. There is only one of any significant importance and that is the one dealing with US giving us back some of the money Indians have put in their Social security. Let us see how that works out.

"that too for muslims"

Do you consider them sub human or something? lol

I don't think he meant that. He meant its just too ridiculous when Americans cry for Muslims after all their stuff

Modi could authorise anyone (if he wanted to).

I'm not overstating the importance attached by the Americans to PM Modi's visit but it is my opinion that there is a real desire to get things back on track from the absolute mess that they were in. The Americans have their interests & I think they believe that in Modi, they have a guy they can do business with. Contrary to what you said, US presidents very rarely receive heads of state/government in the white house during the UN meeting. I think there is a clear interest to meet Modi & firmly put the past behind (we can discuss this in a few days, after the visit to have more clarity). Defence will get a pretty big boost and the Americans believe they need Modi for the big picture dealing in Asia. As you said, lets see how that works out.
