Chicago, USA - A new report released by the United States Hindu Alliance (USHA) examines and exposes the key players behind the recently launched campaign against the World Hindu Congress, which will be held from September 7-9 in Chicago. The World Hindu Congress, the largest gathering of Hindu organizations, temples and institutions under one roof, will feature some 200 plus speakers from over 50 different countries.
The USHA press release further states that these groups often hide their close alliance with and support for violent Islamic and communist terror groups and support Kashmiri and Tamil separatism. Some of their members have been arrested or investigated by US and Indian authorities for their involvement in or support for terrorism and separatism. nizations for over twenty years, according to USHA press release.
Among them are His Holiness Dalai Lama, Art of Living founder Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji, Head of Hindu Dharma Acharya Swami Paramatmanandaji, Head of Chinmaya Mission Worldwide Swami Swaroopanandaji, Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthy, Gov. of Bali I Made Mangku Pastika, Bollywood Star Anupam Kher, renowned Bollywood Directors Vivek Agnihotri and Madhur Bhandarkar, Zee TV Founder and member Parliament Subhash Chandra, and numerous others.
In August 2018, a group called the Coalition for the Defense of the Constitution and Democracy (CDCD) launched a vicious attack on the WHC and accused it of promoting hatred and terrorism against minorities in India. The coalition also falsely claims that “many of the attendees of the WHC are elected officials from the BJP that either directly engage in hate speech or have silently endorsed hate speech...” In addition, the CDCD will be hosting a press release and panel discussion on Thursday, September 6th at the New York University to portray the WHC and various Hindu organizations as promoters of fascism and Islamophobia. Speakers at the event include Shaik Ubaid, Biju Mathew, and Raja Harish Swamy, among others.
However, the USHA report uncovers that the CDCD and its constituents are part of an anti-India and anti-Hindu nexus of Radical Indian Leftists, Islamists and separatists that has been attacking the Indian American and American Hindu organizations for over twenty years, according to USHA press release. Members of the CDCD are also founding members and leaders of the Coalition Against Genocide (CAG), which lobbied and deceived the US Government into denying Mr. Modi a visa in 2005. Similarly, many of them are also the founders and leaders of the Forum of Inquilabi Leftists (FOIL), a Radical leftist group whose members are associated with and endorse various communist parties and terror groups within India, and exhibit chronic hatred towards Hindus. CAG, FOIL and other groups within such coalitions have been deceiving the regulators, media and the general public by exaggerating their numbers and blatantly lying about the number of organizations in such coalitions, the statistics around violence in India as well as the perception of Hinduism and Hindus, the release states.
The USHA press release further states that these groups often hide their close alliance with and support for violent Islamic and communist terror groups and support Kashmiri and Tamil separatism. Some of their members have been arrested or investigated by US and Indian authorities for their involvement in or support for terrorism and separatism. Another coalition group member exhibits blatant hatred towards Mahatma Gandhi and calls him a warmonger, sexual molester and racist.
USHA urges all Americans and the world to be wary of such coalitions and to use independent judgement.
