NEW
YORK: The Indian-American groups across the United States are sharply divided
over invitation sent to Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi to attend the
second World Gujarati Conference to be held in New Jersey.

While some organisations are
working behind the scene mounting pressure on the US government to grant him
visa to attend the meet, the Coalition Against Genocide, an umbrella
organisation of some 25 bodies, has written a letter to Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice asking her to deny visa to the chief minister.
