The Teaneck Democratic Municipal Committee (TDMC) in New Jersey on September 12 passed a resolution against Hindu nationalist hate groups operating in the US, seeking an FBI, and CIA investigation into their functioning.
The resolution was passed in view of the academic scholars receiving threat emails from Hindu right-wing outfits for organising the “Dismantling Hindutva” conclave in 2021.
“All people must be able to live without fear irrespective of their race, ethnicity gender, religious belief, and sexual orientation.” the resolution stated. The committee pointed out that certain rightwing groups including the Vishwa Hindu Parishad America, and Ekal Vidyalaya Foundation operate across the US and are exempted
The committee further stated that these groups along with several others have direct or indirect relations with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in India. The resolution has been passed following the recent independence day parade carried out in New Jersey where “Daddy Bulldozer” with UP chief minister Yogi Adityanath’s photographs were paraded.
