The sikh human rights group have been active and are holding the congress party and its torch bearers accountable for what happened during the riots in 1990's. Manmohan Singh has just arrived at US and the court might ask the white house staff to serve the summons to him..

Riots not is 1990 but 1984's. At that time Man Mohan singh was not in politics.

This is aboout the insurgency that took place in the 1990s when Manmohan singh was the finance minister and giving cash rewards for killing the sikh militants and later shielding and protecting the members of his party who had instigated violence against sikhs in 1984..

Yes I read it, in this way in future USA will issue summons to most of senior leader of India, Modi for riots in 2002, Advani, and other BJP leaders for Babri masjid.

I am not sure how the courts work in the USA, may be they work differently since the country is made of immigrants who come from all over the world...However, the people who are suing are private parties and the court has admitted it and has done what it has to do...

The courts in U.S.A. have to go by international norms and refrain from accepting complaints on issues outside the territory of that country. No country including U.S.A. can make law that compromise with sovereignty of others. We have no concern how their courts work as long as they do not meddle with what goes in India or encroach upon jurisdiction of Indian courts.

I am waiting for reaction of the US court and our PM in this matter after the US issued a summon to our PM.

I too am interested to know how it would face up esp since two bigwigs of the Congress have been served summons...

I think both parties on wrong ends, US courts are not competent to issue summons to other national unless a special reason or crime committed in US and on the other hand the mysterious mum kept by these bigwigs who did not even react.

It is rightly stated that U.S. courts have jurisdiction only on crimes committed in the territory of U.S.A. There is no need for our leaders to comment.

I mean while they react looking so involved when anything happens in their (Indian politicians) favor as a visa is any country's internal matter to any one in India, then why do they avoid to say something in their own favor!

Thats a million dollar question ! Neither the party spokesperson nor anyone even mentions a word about it....Strange but predictable where Congress party is concerned ! Their typical double standards !

At least they should clarify their stand for the sake of Indian public who are so worried about their two politicians fate. In case something goes wrong, Indians should know how are they planning to defend themselves! After all they are our top leaders.

I don't see why the Indian leaders should respond and react to the infructuous and ineffective notices by the american courts, which are really inconsequential and 'nonsense and need be thrown in dustbin'. ( the terms borrowed from Rahul Gandhi)

By all means, they should throw US summons to dustbins, that is the right place for them. But as per precautionary measures one should always have an emergency plan and keep his own subjects in confidence. What was the harm if they were to share their views with their subjects, WE.

Please do not use the word 'subjects'. 'King' and 'subjects' are terms relevant to monarchy. The precautionary measure if any are internal matters of government. There is no point in giving wide publicity and that too in advance as what the concerned leader or government would do in regard to summons.

The whole idea of having a democracy is to function in a transparent manner so that all are treated equally and all dealings that are concerning the state are made public....There is neither any need for secrecy nor is it the right thing to do ! That is how a dictatorship is born, when things are kept in the dark and one person makes all the decisions, whiich is almost what is hapening now in India...

Although I do not understand the reason for keeping such a simple matter secret from fellow citizens but if they decide to do so, it shows that they have no guts to handle such a simple case which has no legal value. It is a clear case which can be considered a laughing material on their part and at best considered a joke. There is no need to keep it secret but should be shared with people and laugh together.

This is too trifling a matter. In fact, we are discussing this on Boddunan only and nobody else is bothering about. Any government including the government of U.S.A. is not involved in the matter. some court has issued summons which is childish and inconsequential. Why should govt. of India give it so much importance as you like.

They apparently have 120 days to serve the summons...

Let them have any number of days to issue summons- which are unlawful and carry no meaning= connected with matter outside their jurisdiction.

Yes, when other countries do not honor our summons then why should we care for their's?

Summons from our country are issued only in relation to offences committed on Indian soil. These are valid under international law unlike the summons issued by the U.S. court.

We should not undermine or disrespect any court in the world just because it doesnt suit our views...It is bound to hhit back against us especially knowing what state our courts are in ! I am sure that American legal procedures and courts are far better run than ours...
