No visa for Narendra Modi, says US

[Guy4mheaven]

Why is US denying visa to Modi where as all the BJP ga ga over his work as chief minister.


---------------------------------------------------------------

The United States State Department has confirmed in a letter to Congresswoman Betty McCollum that Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi [Images] will not be granted a visa to attend the World Gujarati Conference that is being held in New Jersey this weekend, the Coalition Against Genocide has said.

Deny visa to Modi again, US state dept told

On July 8, the Democratic lawmaker petitioned the State Department against issuing a visa for Modi and a reply to this was sent by Mathew Reynolds, the Assistant secretary of State for Legislative Affairs.

"The Department of State is extremely sensitive to your concerns and we are cognisant of the human rights abuses Modi has committed," Reynolds has said in his reply that has been circulated by the CAG, a diverse spectrum of groups and individuals in the US and Canada [Images] that have come together in response to the Gujarat 2002 riots, to demand justice.

Modi's visa denial: Who did it?

"We have thoroughly searched department records and located no current non-immigrant visa applications for Modi. However, should we receive an application, we assure you it will be adjudicated in strict accordance with the Immigration and Naturalisation Act," the official said.

Commenting on the letter, Hyder Khan of the CAG said, "The current response from the State Department has virtually made Narendra Modi a persona non grata to the US."

The Gujarat Riots

It has been pointed out that about 32 lawmakers have so far written letters to the State Department expressing concern over human rights abuses in Gujarat and urging the denial of US visa to Modi, the CAG said in a media release.

"By persistently inviting the most notorious human rights abuser in India and propping Narendra Modi as their icon and hero, the organisers of the World Gujarati conference have brought shame to the Indian American community and have tarnished the name of India," said Hari Sharma.

Modi denied visa to visit US

In 2005, the US State Department had rejected Modi's application for a visa when he wanted to visit America to attend a conference of non-resident Gujaratis. The decision then had triggered a controversy with the Bharatiya Janata Party strongly criticising the action.

The current campaign against Modi gained ground against the backdrop of reports that the chief minister was planning to visit the US for attending a three-day World Gujarati
Conference.

However, the Gujarat government said he has not applied for an US visa nor did he plan to do so.

Like Modi gives shit.

Haan, kaangressio ke liye this is party time, but Modi will give speech via satellite like last time (lets hope so). Even some asshole in AHOA opposed him coming to US in one of their previous conference, and guess what NONE of those who opposed have any position in AHOA governing bodies anymore.

They can stop Modi coming to US, but they will not be able to stop his followers and that is Making Modi bigger and bigger.

And above all, Modi did not even asked for visa.

The so called CAG can have party now, but Modi doesn't care. Where the fukk these CAG assholes when Shikhs were massacred after assassination of their own Indira Gandhi?

It’s strange that the Mahatma is revered by many Americans & his statues adorn many places in the US, but the man now ruling the Mahatma’s birthplace isn’t welcomed in the same country.

Ironic indeed.

[sgars]

Amtha Lalji, do the Peaceful members of CAG have more clout than Amerigujjus. May be you guys cant do much about Modi now, but cant you launch a counter offensive and lobby the same way, when their guest comes.

[marvelous]

His Visa issue with USA would be very intersting when this culprit become Prime Minister of India (Pigs are flying)

I don't understand what's ironic here... they both had the same ideals, the same goals. They only went about it in different ways... Gandhi used a soft stick... which usually lashed back and hurt him and his. Whereas Modi uses a hard stick... and is more effective when dealing with real nasty elements.

Such rascals should be banned from every country even India. They only know how to spread communal disharmony.
