On Friday, the Association of Indian American Minorities (AIAM), a newly established non-governmental organization, was inaugurated at the Sligo Seventh-day Adventist Church in Maryland.
This initiative is dedicated to uniting and enhancing the welfare of minority
communities within the Indian American population in the United States.
Prominent Sikh philanthropist Jasdip Singh was appointed as the Founder and Chairman of AIAM, supported by a diverse seven-member Board of Directors representing various Indian minority communities. This board includes Baljinder Singh and
Dr. Sukhpal Dhanoa (Sikhs), Pawan Bezwada and Elisha Pulivarti (Christians), Dipak Thakker (Hindu), Juned Qazi (Muslim), and Nissim Reuben (Indian Jewish).
In his address to the audience, AIAM Chairman Jasdip Singh underscored the organization's mission in promoting PM Modi's vision of a "Viksit Bharat" by 2047. He stated, "Under PM Modi's leadership, India has adopted a comprehensive approach, guaranteeing equal opportunities for all citizens, regardless of religion, caste, or sect." Satnam Singh Sandhu, Member of Parliament and convener of the Indian Minorities Federation, praised India's evolution under PM Modi. He commended the
"Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas" initiative, asserting that it has eliminated the culture of appeasement and fostered an environment of communal harmony and equal opportunity.
