The Association of Indian American Minorities (AIAM), a newly formed non-governmental organisation, was launched on Friday at the Sligo Seventh-day Adventist Church in Maryland. The initiative aims to unite and promote the welfare of minority communities within the Indian American diaspora.
During the event, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was honoured in absentia with the ‘Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Global Peace Award for Minority Upliftment.’ The award was jointly presented by Washington Adventist University and AIAM, recognizing his efforts toward inclusive development and minority welfare.
AIAM is set to foster unity among Indian Americans in the United States.
Jasdip Singh, a renowned Sikh philanthropist, was appointed as the Founder and Chairman of AIAM, supported by a seven-member Board of Directors representing diverse Indian minority communities, including Sikhs, Christians, Hindus, Muslims, and Jews.
AIAM Chairman Jasdip Singh emphasised the organisation’s role in advancing PM Modi’s vision of a “Viksit Bharat” by 2047. Satnam Singh Sandhu, Member of Parliament and convener of the Indian Minorities Federation, highlighted the “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas” approach and its impact on creating communal harmony and equal opportunities in India.
Members of the Indian minority diaspora praised PM Modi for upholding India’s constitutional commitment to secularism and fostering unity, while condemning attempts to create communal divides.
