POWERFUL PROTEST IN SUPPORT OF DR.
SUBRAMANIAN SWAMY, NEAR CONSULATE GENERAL OF INDIA
IN NEW YORK
A Protest Demonstration was successfully
organized by Indian Americans under the banner of Indian American Intellectuals
Forum, Save India from Corruptions and several other associations in New York
on Sunday, October 16th, to
express their disgust and abhorrence against the unwarranted harassment of Dr.
Subramanian Swamy, President, Janata Party and a prominent Indian leader who
has emerged as the embodiment of resistance against totalitarian and corrupt
system.
The protesters, many of whom flew from Chicago and drove
250-300 miles from neighboring states, carried
banners saying “Sonia Gandhi – Shame, Shame”, “Down with Sonia Gandhi”, and Save Dr. Swamy – Save Indian
Democracy”. They shouted slogans: “Mother of Corruption – Sonia Gandhi”, “Sonia
Gandhi – Fake Gandhi” and “Congress Hatao
– Desh Bachao”.

the Consulate General of India ,
New York
Dr. Swamy is being hounded by the
Governmental agencies for exposing corruption in high places and for writing an
article three months ago in an Indian newspaper in which he had expressed his
views as to how to solve the problem of Islamic terror in India. In that article he had also appealed to all
the Hindus to unite against the challenge of Islamic terrorism.
“It is a matter of great regret and
shame that truthful, bold and honest Indian leaders like Dr. Subramanian Swamy
are being threatened by Congress volunteers and Jihadists”, the Memorandum
stated.
The Memorandum also listed the series of
attacks on Dr. Swamy’s residence, office and on him in Madurai
“The intent behind all the above
insidious activities is to muzzle Dr. Swamy’s voice, vilify him in the eyes of
public and ultimately put him in jail”.
Narain Kataria, one of the organizer of
the Protest said that “We are afraid that once Dr. Swamy is put in jail,
sinister attempts would be hatched to immobilize him physically as well as
mentally for ever.”
The protest was recorded and broadcast
live on worldwide net. It has been seen
by thousands of people and can be watched at:
