MEMORANDUM TO CONSULATE GENERAL OF INDIA October 13, 2011
Consulate General of India
3 East 64th Street
New York, New York 10065
PROTEST AGAINST UNWARRANTED HARASSMENT OF
DR. SUBRAMANIAN SWAMY, PRESIDENT, JANATA PARTY
Hon. Prabhu Dayal ji: Saadar Namaskar:
We, the undersigned, hereby submit this Memorandum to you to express our 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.
India is neither a Banana Republic nor a fiefdom of any Dynasty. It is a full-fledged and vibrant democracy in which freedom of diverse views is constitutionally guaranteed to all the citizens.
Dr. Swamy is being hounded by the Governmental agencies for writing an article three months ago in an Indian newspaper in which he had expressed his opinion 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. There were no communal disturbances due to that article.
Calling Dr. Swamy “anti-Muslim” is a lie perpetrated by corrupt and anti-nationalists.
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.
It is alleged that under pressure from Home Minister Shri Chidambaram, a frivolous FIR has been registered against Dr. Swamy in New Delhi.
In addition to that India Govt. refuses to act on his request for housing in a safer environment in New Delhi to protect himself and his family from ruffians. Here are some examples of attacks:
Aug 8, 2011: Dr. Swamy’s house in New Delhi was attacked by Congress workers
Feb 21, 2009: Dr. Swamy was physically assaulted in Tamilnadu by lawyers, right in front of High Court Judge.
Oct 25, 2008: Dr. Swamy’s party office was ransacked in Madurai.
The intent behind all the above insidious activities is to muzzle Dr. Swamy’s voice, slander him in the eyes of public and ultimately put him in jail.
We are afraid that once Dr. Swamy is put in the jail, sinister attempt would be hatched to immobilize him physically as well as mentally for ever.
Hence, we request you to please convey our feelings to the Government of India.
We would also like to bring to your attention that our protest should not be construed as an anti-India activity. India is the country of our origin. We assure you that we will never do anything that would bring disrepute or indignity to our Motherland. However, we are compelled by the circumstances to resort to this type of action.
Respectfully yours,

This protest should have been managed on Facebook. It would have got a big support on the roads as well. Lots of Indians in US will support this.
Thanks
