NEW YORK: A Sikh rights group has filed a lawsuit asking a US court here to designate the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) as a ‘foreign terrorist organisation’.
The federal court in the southern district of New York issued summons for US secretary of state John Kerry to respond to the suit within 60 days.
The Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), in the declaratory lawsuit, accused the RSS of “believing in and practising a fascist ideology and running a passionate, vicious and violent campaign to turn India into a ‘Hindu’ nation with a homogeneous religious and cultural identity.”
