LIBEL LAWSUIT AGAINST NARAIN KATARIA AND
ARISH SAHANI
Indian National Overseas Congress, Inc. has filed a law suit in the Supreme Court of the Sate of New York in the amount of $100 million against Dr. Bharat Barai, Narain Kataria and Arish Sahani for putting an advertisement in The New York Times, dated October 6, 2007. The plaintiff Dr. Surinder Malhotra, Chief Executive Officer of Indian Overseas Congress states in the complaint that false statements have been made in the advertisement regarding the professional conduct of his boss Sonia Gandhi, Chairwoman of the Indian National Congress Party, and her son, Mr. Rahul Gandhi.
Dr. Bharat Barai has decided to fight his case on his own.
We have established HINDU SUPPORT FUNDÂ to meet the attorneysâ fees and related expenses.
APPEAL TO OUR COLLEAGUES FOR HELP
Narain Kataria and Arish Sahani have hired the law firm of Kornstein Veisz Wexler & Pollard, L.L.P. to represent them. This law firm is known for its integrity and caliber. We were asked to pay $25,000.00 as soon as possible if we wanted to retain this law firm. On April 17, we paid $8,333.00 â one third of $25,000.00 - to the attorneys. We have to pay $16,600.00 in another 60 days.Â
This is an exorbitant amount by any yardstick and beyond our capacity to pay.
We have been serving Hindu community for more than 25 years.  Hence we appeal to our community to come forward and help us out.
Moreover, if the case prolongs for a year or so, we may have to pay $250,000.00.
Hindu Support Fund will be supervised, controlled and audited by the following community leaders:
K. Guruvayurappan         (908) 244-3258
Jayesh Patel               (732) 688-2658
