New York, USA (August 16, 2014): The Sikh rights group Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) has alleged that the White House officials have deliberately deleted bulks of entries of online petition to flop the campaign to stop Indian Prime Minister Nardendera Modi. According to Sikhs24, the SFJ has alleged that by the morning of August 13th, the online petition had 100,059 entries, however a bulk of the signatures were removed later on during the day on August 13.
“The Whitehouse has reset the counter to zero on the Modi Petition. But this will not silence us!! The Whitehouse may want to turn a blind eye to Modi’s crimes, but his innocent victims demand we do something!! Instead of 30 days we have only 6 days left. Lets see what we can reach 100,000 again!!!”, a facebook status of the SFJ reads.

“We do not know if this was deliberately done or simply just a glitch in the system, but SFJ will follow up with the Whitehouse and inquire”, another status said.
The petition is still on-going despite the issue highlighted by Sikhs For Justice. There are currently close to 15,000 entries and before the White House considers the plea, at least 85,000 additional signatures are needed.
The SFJ has appealed the people across the world to sign the petition to reach the target as the time remained is insufficient.
