Chandigarh/ Punjab (August 12, 2014): The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) has sought the “intervention” of the government of India in taking up the issue of recent hate crimes against Sikhs in various countries.

The SGPC has written to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking his government’s intervention in the matter.

SGPC president Avtar Singh Makkar asked Narendra Modi to take up the issue of safety of Sikhs with the US and New Zealand governments.

He demanded that the culprits behind these hate crimes be brought before law.

In New York, a Sikh man was hit and dragged by a truck following an argument recently. The victim was also hurled with a racist slur.

In another area of New York, a Sikh scientist and his mother were assaulted by youths who called him ‘Osama bin Laden’.
