New York: The letters signed by 65 MPs and written to the US President Obama asking him to continue denying visa to Gujarat Chief Minister Modi is authentic according to a US-Court Certified Forensic Expert.
Coalition Against Genocide (CAG) released the letter last week generated a controversy with some MPs denying that they ever signed the letter.
In response to the controversy about the authenticity of the signature, CAG today release a report of Ms. Nanette Barto, , a U.S. Court-Certified Forensic Document Examiner.
Ms. Barto authenticated the signatures and made following observations in her report:
1. Each letter “was created in a single event, and that the signatures found upon it are original/authentic wet ink signatures.”
2. There is no evidence of “cut and paste” or computer alterations performed on the documents.
3. Each signature was executed by a different hand thereby dispelling any doubt of one person executing more than one signature.
“The forensic report establishes beyond any doubt that the letters written by the MPs to President Obama were genuine,” said Raja Swamy, spokesperson for the Coalition Against Genocide (CAG). “It is time to refocus the discussion around the letters’ content, and the reasons that compelled the MPs to write to the US President,” added Mr. Swamy.
“Allegations of forgery related to the MPs letters are frivolous, and intended to stifle discussion on the issues of justice and human rights that the letters have brought to the fore” said Dr. Shaik Ubaid, President of Indian American Minorities Network, a CAG affiliate. “In light of the forensic examiner’s report the futile debate on the authenticity of the letters must end, and give way to a national discussion on accountability for the pogrom of 2002, fake encounter killings and suppression of religious freedom in Gujarat,” added Dr. Ubaid.
The Coalition Against Genocide includes a diverse spectrum of organizations and individuals in the United States and Canada that have come together in response to the Gujarat genocide to demand accountability and justice.
