Captain Amarinder Singh says no shoe, any other object hurled at him in US

He said a “propaganda was being spread and circulated by the anti-India forces and fringe groups like the Sikhs for Justice.”

He regretted that the media took cognizance of the claims of SFJ, a fringe group.

“Even the video circulated by the SFJ to substantiate its baseless claims nowhere shows that I was heckled or objects were thrown at me,” he pointed out.

He said the rumour of hurling of shoes was deliberately spread to overshadow the successful meetings he has been holding with Punjabi NRI community in the US.

“Isn’t it strange that the media took note of the pro-Khalistan slogans raised by a handful people outside the venue, but totally ignored the meeting inside which was attended by about a thousand people and lasted for three hours?” he asked.

“Just because someone like (SFJ legal advisor) Gurpatwant Singh Pannu, whose reputation, credibility, motives and intentions are well known, claimed something which was far from the truth, was taken to be gospel truth without any cross check or verification,” Amarinder said.
