NEW YORK: A protest and fast is being planned at United Nations in New York on October 2 to protest against Sonia Gandhi coming as representative for Non-Violence Day at UN on Mahatma Gandhi’s birthday.
The Forum for Saving Gandhi Heritage, which is organizing the protest, says it will take place in front of UN from 12-2 pm. In a press release, the Forum says, "The recent UN declaration of Mahatma Gandhi birthday as International Non-Violence day at India’s request is commendable.
However instead of true Gandhians who lived there life based on Gandhi Ji’s ideals representing this day at UN, politicians like Sonia Gandhi are using his name for political mileage and international legitimacy. The alarming threat Sonia poses to democracy of India, corruption and fraud since entering India, dividing India for purpose of dynasty rule, crusade to wipe out Hinduism is opposite to all what Mahatma Gandhi stood for."
The protest program is also endorsed by Mahatma Gandhi International Foundation, Indo Caribbean Council, Kashmiri Pandits Association, and Foundation of Nepalis in America.
