Houston City Council was filled with minorities protesting against Modi with signs such as “Go back Modi,” “Save Kashmir,” “Stand with Kashmir.”

Pieter Friedrich, an author specialising in analysis of historical and current affairs in South Asia, stood up for the Indian minorities and called the Americans “complicit in Modi’s crimes against humanity.”

He actively spoke against the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the parent organisation of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the human rights violations on minorities ever since the Modi government took charge.
