Narendra Modi, the architect of the 2002 Gujarat pogrom has been invited by his supporters to be honored at the convention of the Asian American Hotel Owners association in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. His arrival coincides with the third anniversary of the Gujarat massacres in which more than 2000 Muslims were brutally killed, hundreds of women and girls were raped and sexually mutilated and over 150,000 were ethnically cleansed. The surviving victims continue to be persecuted in Gujarat.
The Coalition Against Genocide (CAG), of which IMC-USA is a founding member, is campaigning against Narendra Modi's felicitation in US. Narendra Modi's crimes are being whitewashed by honoring him in a convention attended and supported by US lawmakers and celebrities. A major step in the campaign against Narendra Modi involves reminding the attendees of the aforementioned convention that he is an accused in heinous crimes against humanity.
Chris Matthews of MSNBC Hardball program is scheduled to give a keynote address at the convention. He has been asked by the Coalition Against Genocide to withdraw from the AAHOA convention unless Narendra Modi's invitation is cancelled. We have already sent a dossier on Narendra Modi and the fascist Hindutva movement to Mr. Matthews.
Please contact Chris Matthews and politely request him to withdraw from the AAHOA convention. Also ask him to report on the funding of ethnic cleansing in India by the extremist groups, based in US, which are supporting Narendra Modi.
