PLEASE REGISTER YOUR
PROTEST BEFORE MARCH 23, 2013 AND
EXPRESS YOUR OUTRAGE AT THE CANCELLATION
OF KEYNOTE ADDRESS BY HON. CHIEF MINISTER NARENDRA MODI AT WHARTON INDIA ECONOMIC FORUM (WHARTON)
ON THE TEL. NOS. AND E-MAILS
GIVEN AT THE END.
The news of the
cancellation of Chief Minister Narendra Modi’s keynote address by Skype at
Wharton India Economic Forum has sent shock waves all over the USA and caused immense
emotional disgust, profound aversion and loathing among the lovers of freedom of
speech in this country.
Under the banner of
“AMERICANS FOR FREE SPEECH”, a group of distinguished community leaders and prominent
University Professors in the USA is
working on a Memorandum to be submitted to Wharton for violation of First
Amendment of our Constitution, stifling free speech and pandering to far left and
radical Islamist elements.
At the moment Shri Modi is the most popular, dynamic and
charismatic Chief Minister in India.
According to a poll conducted by by Ipsos, 43% respondents support Shri Modi for the post of
next Prime Minister of India. The Wall
Street Journal says that more than 90% people oppose cancellation of Modi’s
speech at Wharton.
Our economy is going down
and India’s economy is on the upswing.
Hence the Wharton’s decision is
not only unwise and unsound but also seems to be guided by political pressure and ideological bent
of mind of the organizers. This ill-conceived decision could seriously impact on Indo-American relationship.
Commenting on this politically
motivated decision which has undermined the credibility of Wharton and has
brought ignominy and disrepute to it, Pam Geller, Editor of Atlas Shrugs, Author of several
books, President, American Freedom Initiative ( AFDI); and Stop Islamization of Nations (SION) in her recent article in Atlas Shrugs wrote that “What a PR blunder. Not sure what kind of a ‘business school’
Wharton management is trying to run when it chooses to invite Islamic bigots
like Javed Akhtar and Shabana Azmi (who have nothing to do with Economics) over
the world renowned Economic visionary and leader like Narendra Modi”. (http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2013/03/wharton-
