MODI address near Empty UN General Assembly

Funny; Modi a convicted murderer got a standing ovation....lol .... you Americans are best at one thing, forgetting the sins and propping a man, for your own USEFUL purposes, only later discard after the tissue has passed his useful life. Democracy does crazy things...

It's not the "democracy" or anything. Where 100 thousand people complained about him and called him a murderer and all.....over a million people supported him getting a Visa to the US, this includes the local Americans too and not just the Indian community.
Second, the US has allowed Musharraff to come lecture in our country and make $$ (even though he was a dictator and a murderer of many people in Baluchistan), we have allowed Zardari to come in as a Pakistani president and all.....and when the people agreed to having Modi in, we invited him too.

He does run one of the largest countries and democracies in the entire world. If his own courts didn't put him behind bars and he ACTUALLY became a PM of India....who are we to disagree with hundreds of millions of people's votes (who brought him into power, knowing his previous issues and all).

When foreign dignitaries visit a country, once they are there, you can ONLY give them respect and all. However, there is a court in the US who's asked modi to provide proofs of innocence on these murder charges and all so the institutions aren't put to sleep. They work independently.

Last, unlike Pakistan where 20,000 people are hell bent in destroying a 200 MILLION people's elected government, Indians are democratic and they all support Modi as their PM. You guys curse your elected PM for fun on this very forum all the time. So you're leaders will be treated by the image you as a nation produce of them in front of the world.

This is a blatant LIE I don't know which madrassa is preng this or what brainwashed news anchor is preaching this but he was cleared of any wrongdoing in any criminal wrongdoing by the highest court in India- the Supreme Court. This might not mean much to a Pakistani but Indians one and all respect the rule of law, the findings of the Supreme Court and respect the Prime Minister of India regards of political affiliation.

They are just holding a coronation ceremony for their new puppet. :lol:

You know what, it doesn't even matter.


The general narrative you people are trying to put across is that India is an irrelevant nation and no one is interested in Modi's visit, right? But how about you tell me how many heads of state, congressmen, Mayors, senators and Governors Modi has met on a 1 on 1 level in the US so far? The number is over 50 easily. Tell me of the 192 heads of state/government attending the UN GA over this week how many are staying for a two day summit with Obama? Precisely- THE PRIME MINISTER OF INDIA. Modi's itinerary is hardly that of some insignificant nation- meetings with Fortune 500 CEOs, addressing international festivals, packing out MADISON SQUARE GARDENS. I don't know how many irrelevant nations' leaders get this kind of treatment.....

When you compare that to your own PM's visit -what, 2 bi-lateral meetings with minor heads of state? Flies in on the 26th, is gone on the 27th, you might be forgiven for not even realising Mr Nawaz Sharif had been in NYC....



Laugh all you want.

New York court issues summons against PM Narendra Modi

NEW YORK/NEW DELHI: Ahead of his arrival in the US, a New York court has issued summons against Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his alleged role in 2002 communal riots in Gujarat when he was the state's chief minister.

The summons against Modi were issued on Thursday by the US Federal Court for the Southern District of New York on a civil lawsuit filed by the New York-based American Justice Center (AJC), a nonprofit human rights organisation, along with two survivors of the post-Godhra violence. The court said that Modi has to respond to the summons within 21 days after it is served on him.

The Prime Minister is due to leave for home on September 30 from Washington after he concludes his five-day US visit. The lawsuit against Modi has been filed under the Alien Tort Claims Act (ATCA) and the Torture Victim Protection Act (TVPA).

Seeking compensatory and punitive damages, the 28-page complaint charges Modi with committing crimes against humanity, extra-judicial killings, torture and inflicting mental and physical trauma on the victims, mostly from the Muslim community.

Reacting to the lawsuit, Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said on Friday the government will examine the US court summons.

"We will examine it. I don't know it. I am only hearing it from you," Prasad told reporters in New Delhi.

When asked about the case, US assistant secretary of state for south and Central Asia Nisha Desai Biswal said on a conference call on Friday that the US government is aware of it.

"We are aware through press reports about the lawsuit in the federal district court of New York. We can't comment specifically on the case, but as a general legal policy, we would like to point out that sitting heads of government enjoy immunity from legal actions and cannot be personally delivered summons," said Biswal. "Sitting heads of state also enjoy immunity from legal summons and actions while they are attending the United Nations general assembly meetings in New York," she added.

MEA spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin said in response to the lawsuit against Modi: "This case is a frivolous and malicious attempt to distract attention from the visit of the Prime Minister to the United States General Assembly and a bilateral summit with the President of the United States." He added, "appropriate steps are being taken to address the matter."

How serious is the Prime Minister Narendra Modi summons?

Just who is American Justice Center? Whom all have they targeted before?

Very little is known about the American Justice Center. The lawyer representing the groups in this case, Gurpatwant Singh Pannum, told Global India Newswire that AJC is a newly-launched human rights organisation. The New York-based group was founded by, among others, Dr John Bradley, a civil rights leader. Pannum is also associated with Sikhs for Justice, which has filed lawsuits against Congress leader Sonia Gandhi and former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

What does the summons mean?

The summons is not valid until it is served to Modi, the chances of which are very remote. However, it does take some shine off a very tightly choreographed visit. It is unlikely Modi will cancel any of his public engagements.

Will it be served? Will this resurface every time Modi visits US?

Pannum says, under New York law, the summons doesn't have to be hand-delivered to Modi; if somebody throws it at its feet and says, "Here's your summons," it is valid. Yes, the group is likely to pursue the case every time Modi visits the US.

What now?

It is very unlikely the summons will be served, even though the plaintiff's lawyer says there are multiple "process servers" to deliver the summons. In a similar case against Manmohan Singh, the Department of Justice told a court in Washington, DC, that the prime minister had immunity, as a head of state. Since it wasn't totally a surprising move, it is very likely that both governments have discussed this scenario ahead of the visit.

Do we have another diplomatic crisis on cards?

Very unlikely. After the poor handling of the Khobragade incident, the US side is likely to do everything to prevent a diplomatic crisis, that too one involving the prime minister, not a "junior diplomat."

So far none of the Indian courts have convicted Mr. Narendara Modi,a person is guilty unless he is convicted. Indian courts r indipendent unlike Pakistani courts. In Pakistan,the gunman who killed Salman Tasseer is still cooling his heels. I have seen the footages of Lawyers throwing rose petals on the accused gunman when he was bought to the court for trial.There will be a terrible backlash from the hardliners if the accused gunman is hanged,many of the blasphemy victims r shot dead in jail without any fair trial.

How does this burst my bubble in any way shape or form? A US court has the right to issue a summons to anyone they want (under their own self-entitled laws) that doesn't mean a damn thing and is definitely not assigning guilt to those being issued with summons. In this case it was some, I don't even know what to call them, people with less than rosy view of the Indian state, trying to embarrass India and Modi. And so what? He enjoys full diplomatic immunity and no US court can touch him. It was a publicity stunt simple as that and one that failed really.

They are just holding a coronation ceremony for their new puppet. :lol:
Nawaz Sharif was in Madison Square Gardens?? I must have missed him......

U.S. Rights Group Files Lawsuit Against Narendra Modi

Federal Court Orders Indian Leader to Respond to Charges Linked to 2002 Religious Riots in Gujarat

259f0bc0f9b1d69f6ec875bb46095da6.jpg


NEW YORK—A day before Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's arrival in the U.S. Friday, a human rights group filed a lawsuit here asking for punitive damages and compensation from Mr. Modi in connection with deadly religious riots in 2002 in the state of Gujarat when he was chief minister there.

A U.S. federal court ordered the Indian leader to respond within 21 days to allegations outlined in the civil case, which accuses Mr. Modi of crimes against humanity, extrajudicial killings and negligence under the Alien Tort Claims Act and Torture Victim Protection Act. The laws target human rights violations outside the U.S.

A White House official said Friday that as a general rule, sitting heads of government enjoy immunity from lawsuits, suggesting that the order would have no bearing on Mr. Modi's official visit.

The court's directions on Thursday came in response to a complaint by the American Justice Center, a recently formed nonprofit organization concerned with the rights of religious minorities in India, acting on behalf of two alleged victims of the 2002 communal violence.

More than 1,000 people were killed in those riots, most of them Muslims. Mr. Modi was the chief minister of the western state of Gujarat at that time and critics say he didn't do enough to stop the religious violence.

Mr. Modi denies these allegations and an Indian court last year said there wasn't enough evidence to prosecute him.

"This case is a frivolous and malicious attempt to distract attention from the visit of the prime minister," said Syed Akbaruddin, an Indian Foreign Ministry spokesman, who added, "the allegations in the case are baseless."

The national spokesman of Mr. Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party, Bijay Sonkar Shastri, said the timing of the summons was unfortunate and U.S. courts should have referred to Indian courts first as they have already ruled on this issue.

"It is very surprising the U.S. court has done something like this especially at a time when the two countries are entering a new phase of ties," Mr. Shastri said. "The issue has been buried in India and the people of India gave their verdict by choosing Mr. Modi as their prime minister."

The complaint filed Thursday accused Mr. Modi of initiating and condoning the 2002 violence. It details losses suffered by two alleged victims—a woman whose name hasn't been disclosed in the complaint and a man named Asif—who both allege they lost family members in the riots.

The case is unlikely to have major legal consequences for Mr. Modi, who he will be back in India well before the 21-day period for a response elapses. Still, it is an awkward start to his visit given Mr. Modi's fraught history with the U.S., which revoked his visa in 2005 and prevented him from traveling to the U.S. for nearly a decade because of allegations surrounding the Gujarat violence.

The Obama administration initiated a thaw in relations with Mr. Modi early this year, when it became clear he was the front-runner to be India's next prime minister. Both sides say they have put the visa issue behind them and are looking to use Mr. Modi's visit to build trust and stronger relations.

Mr. Modi is scheduled to meet prominent U.S. political and business figures in New York and Washington, D.C. over a five-day visit, addressing a sellout crowd of the Indian diaspora at the Madison Square Garden on Sunday and holding two meetings next week with Mr. Obama. But he will also face protests by those who blame him for the 2002 violence and see him as a hard-line Hindu nationalist.

Gurpatwant Pannun, the lawyer for the group that has brought the U.S. case, is among Mr. Modi's critics. Mr. Pannun said he is a part of a group called "Sikhs for Justice" that will indict Mr. Modi at a "citizens' court" outside the White House next week when he meets Mr. Obama.

I'm glad Nawaz Sharif didn't put on a show and go to Madison Square Garden, a real leader doesn't need to do those things to show his presence. Only heads of states who have an inferiority complex do so, shows his real insecurities.

meetings with Fortune 500 CEOs

Do you think this is a great achievement? It is not hard for connected statesman to meet these people.

He didn't arrange such an event it was organised and entirely funded by the NRIs in the US. And do you really think Nawaz Sharif would have filled out Madison Square Gardens? Or that 30 senior US Congressmen and Senators would have turned up? Dream on.....
