:dateline:A US-based rights group, Sikhs For Justice (SFJ), in a petition with over 100,000 signatures is calling upon the Obama administration to cancel the invitation to the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi �for perpetrating violence against Muslims, Sikhs and Christians�.
The SFJ claimed in a press statement that it had obtained more than the required numbers of signatures�in their petition calling upon the US administration to disinvite Mr Modi and was now demanding a response from the White House.
The petition was launched on July 21 2014 by the SFJ after Mr Obama invited the Indian Prime Minister�for a summit at the�White House, effectively reversing the 2005 ban on Modi�s entry and visa to United States imposed by the Bush administration.
Obama�s invitation was followed by Secretary Kerry�s visit to India during which he assured that the Indian PM would be granted a�US visa to attend the upcoming UN General Assembly session and White House summit.
