Sikh Community Vows To Impede Kamal Nath's Visit to U.K.

NEW YORK, April 30, 2010 - Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), a human rights advocacy group working to seek
justice for victims of the November 1984 Sikh genocide in India, avowed that
Sikhs in the United Kingdom will use their influence to impede Indian
government Minister Kamal Nath's visit to the U.K. (planned for May 12, 2010)
due to his alleged participation in the genocide.

Nath was a member of India's Congress at the time of the genocide.
According to the Indian Express reporter Manish Sanjay Suri, Kamal Nath was
outside of Gurdawara Rakab Ganj, a Sikh temple in Delhi where many Sikhs were
burnt alive by a mob. Witnesses, like Mukhtiar Singh, Manager of the
Gurdawara, testified before India's Nanavati Commission that he saw Kamal
Nath leading the mob. Nath could not satisfy the Commission's inquiry as to
why he was present outside the Gurdawara; Justice Nanavati observed that
Nath's testimony was "vague" and "not consistent with the evidence."

SFJ maintains that the genocide of India's Sikh population was state
orchestrated because Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was killed by two Sikh
bodyguards.

On April 06, 2010, during Kamal Nath's visit to the U.S.A., SFJ and
victims of the Genocide filed a case against Nath in the U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of New York charging him with human rights
violations under the Alien Torts Claims Act and the Torture Victims
Protection Act. Honorable Judge Sweet issued a summons against Kamal Nath
ordering him to respond to the allegations within 21 days. According to
attorney Gurpatwant Singh Pannun of Sikhs for Justice, "Nath has failed to
respond so far which shows Nath's blatant disregard for the rule of law and
U.S. courts."

As a result of the active efforts of Rob Marris, MP and Chair of the
British parliament's all-party group on Sikhs, the U.K. government previously
demonstrated great respect regarding the issue of the Sikh genocide by
denying entry to Jagdish Tytler another Indian government leader involved in
the killing of Sikhs in November 1984.

Various organizations representing the Sikh community in the U.K. are
approaching leaders of all political parties to urge the government to ban
Kamal Nath's entry into the country. This issue is a leading factor in the
Sikh community's vote in the May 6th elections.
