Congress president Sonia Gandhi will move a US court here seeking dismissal of a human rights violation lawsuit filed against her by a Sikh advocacy group and will urge the court to prevent it from filing further cases on the 1984 anti-Sikh riots in America.
Gandhi’s attorney Ravi Batra, who also represents the Congress party in the US courts, on Thursday filed an 85-page memorandum in the District Court Eastern District of New York in support of Gandhi’s motion for dismissal of the amended complaint filed against her by Sikhs for Justice (SFJ).
In the memorandum, Batra said that Gandhi “shall move before the Honorable Brian Cogan at the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York” on February 7, 2014, for an order seeking dismissal of the SFJ lawsuit.
