PRESS RELEASE FOR PROTEST RALLY 8-13-06
CITIZENS FOR DEMOCRACY

PRESS RELEASE-AUG. 13, 2006
SILENT PROTEST MARCH AGAINST RACIAL SLURS
Number of intellectuals, philanthropists, defenders of freedom and civil right activists with greater eloquence and more original minds than we posses has spoken on these issues of Racial Equality and Equal Justice for All. Unfortunately NJ is the worst example of racial segregation, moral and ethical corruption. Yet no one mention the word Race in this state. It is not the question of Mayor Jun Choi of Edison or Clara Harelik of Springfield presiding over racist administrations. It is also not the question of Police Officer Michael Dotro of Edison practicing brutality on unarmed colored residents Raj Parikh, Bimal Joshi & Atul Patel or Officer Kahora pulling a gun on a 5 yr old & a 9 yr old colored children. It is not the question of one Rajnikant brutally beaten by the police in Edison. It is the question of complete failure of our Secular System and we must try to make it secular. In order for us to do that first of all we must believe in Rev. M.L.K’s divine vision “First and foremost we are American Citizens. We are not here to advocating violence. The only weapon we have is the weapon of protest. The great glory of American Democracy is the right to protest for your rights.”
That’s exactly what we are doing here to day protesting against the gross injustice, racial discrimination and human rights violation done to so many Rajnikants by the NJ police in different parts of NJ. There are so many Rajnikants who have suffered in other parts of NJ. As Rev. King said “Injustice any where is a threat to justice every where.” The incident of police brutality and local government & police sponsored Racial Slurs against a minority community in Edison on July 4, 2006 and Aug. 2, 2006 is a threat to all minorities living in other parts of NJ. This protest symbolizes the protest and silent sufferings of so many other Rajnikant’s in different part of NJ. We demand Suspension of Officer Michael Dotro along with officers involved in selective enforcement of immigration laws and prosecution of individuals involved in inhuman Racial Slurs against the entire community of Indian origin to send a clear message to all those who are occupying the seats of power in NJ that they must believe in Equal Justice & Secular values of America. America is a melting pot of best of all brains & cultures from around the world that have made this country Great. This religious and cultural diversity had made America a Great country on the face of this earth to live and raise your families. That’s the image we must protect at all times. We must respect all human beings as creation of God in different colors. God bless all of you and God Bless America.
