- An overwhelming majority of the victims were Hindus as they were specifically targeted for extermination.
- Congressman Steve Chabot has been kind enough to understand our concerns and taking up the resolution to recognize Pakistan's crimes in 1971 as genocide.
- I thank our friend, Deputy Mayor of Blue Ash, Pramod Zaveri, for sensitizing Congressman Chabot about the issue.
