Tulsi Gabbard Must Resign for Ties to India's Fascist RSS/BJP
The Issue
US Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, who is running for president, must resign immediately from the US Congress and submit to an investigation of her interactions with India's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a Nazi-inspired, fascist paramilitary.
American affiliates of the RSS/BJP were instrumental in financing Tulsi Gabbard's election to US Congress in 2012. Thereafter, she met with the BJP president and RSS spokesperson in Washington, DC while taking tens of thousands in campaign contributions from US affiliates of the RSS/BJP who were working to elect Narendra Modi as prime minister of India.
From 2012 to 2014, Tulsi Gabbard spoke at a minimum of ten RSS-affiliated events — including two in India. Among those were two events hosted by the Overseas Friends of the BJP (OFBJP) to celebrate Modi's election. One of those events — on August 22, 2014 in Atlanta, GA — appears to have been at least partially financed by her congressional campaign. Why would a US congresswoman spend campaign money to pay for an Indian religious national political party's event celebrating election of a foreign politician?
We demand that Tulsi Gabbard resign.
