US-based rights group exposes Modi ‘event’ on 19 November Statesman News Service Ahmedabad, 17 November A rights group of NRIs based in the USA has exposed Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi’s purported video address to an event in the Capitol Hill on 19 November as a fraud played by a Sangh Parivar front. It was well publicised in the media here that Mr Modi would address a Capitol Hill event via satellite video on 19 November. But the Coalition Against Genocide (CAG) has said that its investigations have revealed it as a “fraud and an exercise in illegal and criminal misuse of US government symbols”. “After five days of phone calls, letters, document verification and hundreds of e-mails between CAG activists and Congressional staffers, several members of the House Republican Conference whose names had been used to endorse the Modi event have washed their hands off the event”, declared an e-mail from the CAG on Sunday. The Congresspersons were unaware that their names or the Congressional seal were being used to promote the Modi event, the CAG probe revealed. The Office of Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers has issued a Cease and Desist order to Mr Shalabh Shalli Kumar and NIAPPI, who are organisers of the event outside Capitol Hill, where Modi is expected to appear via satellite video on 19 November, the CAG e-mail from Washington informed.
