Dear Ambassador,

BJP condemns the horrific gun violence at the Wisconsin gurdwara in US. The Sikh faith, fifth largest in the world with more than 30 million followers are in a state of shock and anger. This incident comes close on the heels of US marine personal unprovoked firing on Indian fisherman in Dubai, UAE a few weeks ago. We wish to state that these ugly incidents are hurting the mindset of average Indians. BJP demands that US govt. take a serious note of it. 

The recent barbaric act is against humanity. Killing 7 Sikhs and grievously injuring 30 people, is unpardonable and terrorism against humanity. Attacking innocent people, spilling their blood and desecrating the gurdwara where the holy scripture “Guru Granth Sahib” is placed has globally hurt millions of Hindus, Christians, Sikhs & Muslims alike.

BJP the Principal Opposition Party of India demands that adequate security be provided to all gurdwaras and hindu temples in USA. The injured be provided best medical facilities and compensation to the kith & kin family members of the killed.

BJP is saddened by this tragic incident. We hope the US govt. shall probe this “domestic terrorism act” so that such ugly incidents do not re-occur. Look forward to your early response.
