US Sikh community leaders and members in the US and Canada express concern over threats, harassment, and surveillance by the Indian government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. These incidents include online harassment, surveillance at homes and places of worship, doxxing, and "swatting" (filing false police reports). The FBI has warned Sikh activists of potential danger and held invitation-only meetings with Sikh advocacy groups, FBI officials, and participants to discuss these threats. US Sikh activists believe the Indian government is targeting them, as they hold critical views of the Modi government and its rise of nationalism and religious intolerance in India.
