Some representatives of the Hindu American Foundation (HAF) spread false propaganda against the Sikhs living in California recently, which has been revealed in an article published in The Sacramento Bee newspaper. The false statement made by the Hindu American Foundation (HAF) was not only made against Fremont Gurdwara but against the entire Sikh community. A representative of the Hindu American Foundation (HAF) calling the Gurdwara Sahib institutionally linked to drugs, arms and organized crime is not only inflammatory and insulting, but baseless. On this statement, the Fremont Police say that they did not find anything related to illegal weapons or drugs at the Gurdwara Sahib in Fremont.
The Hindu American Foundation’s hate crimes are more against Sikh Americans in good standing, including Raj Singh Badhesha, most recently Fresno’s city attorney, whom Newsom called in June on duty in traditional Sikh dress in America. Appointed as the first Sikh judge to serve. Gurdeep Singh Shergill, an elected member of Fresno’s school board and a Sikh recipient of the James Irwin Foundation Leadership Award for his work with the Nandeep Jakara Movement, a Sikh youth civil rights organization.
