A group of Indian-Americans held a peaceful protest march in Pennsylvania against the decision of Wharton India Economic Forum (WIEF) to withdraw an invitation to Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi.
Under the banner of ‘Americans for Free Speech,’ the Indian-Americans chanted slogans like ‘We want Modi’ and displayed his pictures on posters and banners. Most of the protesters who had arrived from New York and New Jersey marched down several blocks to hold a demonstration in front of the WIEF event on Saturday, which held its day-long conference on the India’s economic development. Speakers addressed the protesters gathered across the street from Harrison Auditorium at the University of Pennsylvania, where the conference was held.
