California Gujaratis welcome Modi, condemn protests

September 28, 2015 00:55

Welcoming the Silicon Valley visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a group of over a dozen Gujarati organisations and 20 eminent Gujaratis today appealed to the members of the agitating Patel community not to use the occasion to hold protests over the developments back home.

"We condemn any attempt to take undue advantage of these unfortunate events to create animosity between NRIs in USA in general and non-resident Gujarati community in specific," said a joint statement issued by these organisations and individuals from the Gujarati community living in California.

"We, the members of the Gujarati community in California, whole-heartedly welcome Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the United States of America," the statement said.
