Washington, Jun 6 (PTI) Indian students in the US have condemned the police action against yoga guru Baba Ramdev and his supporters in New Delhi, saying the government has lost "moral authority" and people's faith.
"We, as students and responsible citizens of India, unequivocally condemn this act by the Government of India," they said in a memorandum to the Indian President, submitted at the Indian Embassy here.
The memorandum was signed by Indian students at University of Maryland (UMD), and represented three different organisations - Indian Student Groups at UMD, College Park; DESI (Develop, Empower and Synergize India) and Students Council of India.
"By failing to curb corruption, and by denying the constitutional rights to its citizens, we believe that the government has lost moral authority and people's faith, and should be dismissed with immediate effect," it said.
