Sub:Protest against continued hate crimes against Sikhs in USA.
Dear Sirs,
Sikh Nation Organization, is pained to lodge this protest with the Govt. of USA, against continued hate crimes against Sikhs in USA, since Sept.11, 2001 terrorist attack on United States. Sikhs have suffered several attacks and verbal abuses, as they are mistaken for Muslims because of their turban and beard.
This Sunday, in another instance of hate crimes against the Sikh community, 54- year-old, S.Rajinder Singh Khalsa, a limousine driver, suffered multiple cuts, bruises and a broken nose, when he was punched and kicked unconscious on a side walk in the Queens area in New York, when he objected to disparaging remarks about the Sikh men's turbans.
Sikh Nation Organization, requests Govt. of USA to take effective measures to check hate crimes against Sikhs. Every Sikh, condemned 'inhuman terrorist action' and is committed to live and die for humanity, as per preachings of the Sikh Gurus.
With deep regards.
Yours sincerely,
(Dr. Manjit Singh Randhawa)
President,
Sikh Nation Organizatin
