Prime Minister Modi meets Sikh community members in US, praised for work benefiting Sikhs, plans future delegation to India.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has met several members of the Sikh community here in the U.S., who thanked him for the work done by his government for the Sikh community.
“We were so happy, and what a positive feeling we had after the meeting. We greeted the prime minister as soon as he walked in the room with the Sikh traditional jaikara of Jo Bole So Nihal, and the prime minister was so gracious to reply back Sat Sri Akaal,” Jasdip Singh Jassee from the Sikhs of America organisation said after he met Modi in New York on Monday (September 23, 2024).
Prominent Sikh leader from Wisconsin Darshan Singh Dhaliwal also met the Prime Minister.
“We had a very good discussion. The prime minister has done a lot for the Sikh community," Mr. Jassee told PTI after returning to Washington later in the day.
"I don't think any other Prime Minister in history of India has done for the Sikh community what Prime Minister Modi has been doing, including the opening of Kartar Saheb Corridor, celebrations of 500 years of Guru Nanak’s 550th birthday, abolishing the blacklist of Sikhs, who could not visit India and also getting justice for the victims of the Sikh genocide that happened in 1984 under the Congress government,” Mr. Jassee said, referring to the anti-Sikh riots that took place in 1984 after the assassination of then-prime minister Indira Gandhi by her two Sikh security.
“We thanked him today for what he has done for the Sikh community and we are going to take another delegation to India to meet him pretty soon and discuss issues with him,” he said, congratulating the prime minister for his “very, very successful visit” to the United States.
Mr. Modi, who was in the U.S. on a three-day official visit, left for home on Monday (September 23, 2024).
