RE: HUNGER STRIKE TO DEMAND WRITTEN APOLOGY FOR RACIAL
SLURS OF AUG. 2, 2006 FROM EDISON MAYOR, POLICE DEPT. & PBA

Hon. Sir:

As you are already aware from our Press Release of Sep. 14, 2006 our volunteers are going for a Hunger Strike on Sep. 26, 2006 to demand written apology on moral grounds from the Edison Mayor, Police Dept. and PBA for sponsoring the worst ever called Racial Slurs in the history of America against the Indian-Americans on Aug. 2, 06.

Please be advised these volunteers will sit out side the Municipal Building of Edison by the Parking lot on Sep. 26, 2006 from 9.00 A.M. to 6.00 P.M. They will not eat or drink any thing after 12.00 A.M. (midnight) Sep. 25, 2006. After 6.00 P.M. they will join the SAALT Seminar on “Rights of Immigrants” at Iselin Public Library from 6.30-8.30P.M.

From the library these volunteers will walk on Oak Tree Road business district from Pathmark Plaza to Sona Jewellers. From there they will sit in India House till 12.00 Midnight and break their hunger strike with a Glass of Juice to be offered by Mr. Pradip “Peter” Kothari of India House.

Please be advised there will be strictly no slogan shouting at any times by these volunteers or the sympathizers/supporters who may visit them in the Municipal Complex or walk with them on Oak Tree Rd. business district or sit with them in the India House. If any permit is required or fee is to be paid to any Township or County or State authorities for this Hunger Strike/Protest, please let us know so accordingly we can comply all the applicable town, county and state laws and regulations.

As far as precedent for Hunger Strike to demand justice by Private Citizens in New Jersey is concerned the undersigned twice sat on a day’s Hunger Strike on July 4, 2005 and Aug. 8, 2005 along with his family and friends in the township of Springfield. Then Governor Richard Codey, Supreme Court Chief Justice Deborah Poritz, Attorney General Peter Harvey, Congressman Mike Ferguson, Senator Tom Kean, Assemblymen Jon Bramnik, Eric Munoz, US Senator Jon Corzine (now Governor of NJ), Police Superintendent Colonel Joseph Fuentes, Union County & Springfield elected politicians and administration never objected to that. That is a different issue the Racist & Corrupt Judge Firsichbaum, Mayor Clara Harelik, Police Chief William Chisholm and officer Kahora (who at gun point stopped a 5yr old and 9 yr old) of Springfield are still on the same posts. Unfortunately the victims of Bias Crimes, threatening phone calls, letters, e-mails, property vandalized, free speech rights violated never got any justice till date.

Please be advised for the safety and security of our volunteers we are not disclosing the names of our volunteers who will be sitting for Hunger Strike on Sep. 26, 2006. Our horrified experience during the Press Conference of Mayor Choi on Aug. 13, 06 is stopping us from disclosing the names of our volunteers. In that conference right in front of the Mayor and Edison Police self-proclaimed Exe. V.P. of IBA Mr. Chandrakant Patel charged towards our Spokesperson Mr. Dave Makkar with the intentions of physically assaulting him for making remarks that all the IBA functionaries which is a non-profit organization including Satish Poondi may have indulged into money laundering by giving $20,000.00 to Bollywood Star Bipasa Basu without a written contract. Further he added that IBA body is illegal and unelected. An alert officer of Edison Police stopped Mr. Patel when he was dangerously close to Mr. Makkar. Then outside the building another functionary Jayesh Amin speaking heatedly raising objections why IBA was discussed inside physically came too close to Mr. Makkar and was whisked away by Mr. Dilip Patel & Jasal Amin (Advisory Chairman & V.P. IBA)

We sincerely wish the things should not have come to this stage if on Aug. 23, 06 Mayor Jun Choi and Police Chief George Mieczkowski would have agreed to written apology respecting the sentiments & dignity of majority Indian-Americans on moral grounds for the worst ever racial slurs of Aug. 2, 2006 against Indian-Americans in the history of America. Mayor joining unethical & discredited individuals is no solution. We just wanted to remind them the famous words of our second President Hon. John Adams:
“Statesman....may plan and speculate for liberty, but it is Religion and Morality alone, which can establish the Principles upon which freedom can securely stand...”

Kindly acknowledge receipt of this letter and oblige.

Respectfully submitted,

Hon. Sir:

As you are already aware as per our letter dated 9-20-06 our volunteers are going for a Hunger Strike on Sep. 26, 2006 to demand written apology on moral grounds from the Edison Mayor, Police Dept. and PBA for sponsoring the worst ever called Racial Slurs in the history of America against the Indian-Americans on Aug. 2, 06. Please be advised these volunteers will sit out side the Municipal Building of Edison by the Parking lot on Sep. 26, 2006 from 1.30-2.00 A.M. to 6.00 P.M. They will not eat or drink any thing after 12.00 A.M. (midnight) Sep. 25, 2006. After 6.00 P.M. they will join the SAALT Seminar on “Rights of Immigrants” at Iselin Public Library from 6.30-8.30P.M. The change in the time out side the Municipal Building of Edison Twp. has been made because these volunteers will also attend the “Human Relations Committee” Meeting at 1 War Memorial, Trenton New Jersey from 9.30 A.M. till the end of the meeting and from there directly they will drive to Edison Municipal Building.

Rest of the programmer will remain the same, from Iselin library these volunteers will walk on Oak Tree Road business district from Pathmark Plaza to Sona Jewellers.
Respectfully submitted,
