[edit] Jagdish Tytler Controversy

In June 2004, AAPI became involved in a controversy for its invitation to Indian Minister for NRI Affairs Jagdish Tytler to be honored at a dinner gala.

Various human rights and Sikh groups threatened to hold demonstrations at the venue and the invitation to Jagdish Tytler was withdrawn.[1] Tytler resigned from the Indian government after being indicted by the official Nanavati Commission of incitng mobs for violence.[2] [3] [4]
