SFJ and lawsuits against Indian politicians:
The SFJ has been engaged in filing lawsuits against Indian politicians in countries like United States of America, Canada and Australia. SFJ recently moved a lawsuit Indian against Prime Minister Narendra Modi in connection with the 2002 Muslim genocide in Gujarat when he had visited the US in September last year. The lawsuit could not succeed as the US govt. declared in the court that Narendra Modi enjoys immunity since he is the head of a foreign government.
The SFJ had also filed separate lawsuits against Congress president Sonia Gandhi, former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh besides Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal during their visits to United States. SFJ had maintained that all these Indian politicians were responsible for being instrumental to human rights abuses and torture on Sikhs in India.
Based on an alleged human rights violations case filed by the SFJ, a New York court had recently issued summons against Manjit Singh GK.
