PTI, NEW YORK: Braving wintery weather, a large number of Indian-Americans held a protest in front of the United Nations headquarters here against the Pulwama attack and demanded that Pakistan take action against terror groups operating on its soil.
On February 14, a terrorist of the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) rammed an explosive-laden vehicle into a bus in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama district, killing 40 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel.
The protesters from across this city gathered at the UN headquarters on Sunday, holding placards and raising slogans against the terror machinery operating on Pakistani soil and demanded swift action against the JeM and its leader Masood Azhar.
Jagdish Sewhani, President of ‘The American India Public Affairs Committee’ and one of the organisers of the event, told PTI that Indian-Americans, including professionals and students, were expressing their anger at the “continued state sponsorship of terrorism by Pakistan across the world”.
