*In his keynote speech to the Rajni Chand-Ganesh Chand Global Girmit Institute sponsored two-day international conference at USP, Ahluwalia had compared the Girmitiyas contribution to the development of modern Fiji with that of the Botany Bay Convicts and Criminals who, he claimed, laid the foundation for the development of modern day Australia.
​*'What a silly comparison and an insult to our Girmitiya forefathers', howl many to us after his full speech was uploaded to YouTube recently.
*About 162,000 male and female prisoners (criminals, convicts, prostitutes etc) were rounded up in England and from other parts of the British Empire and sent to Botany Bay in Sydney, Australia, between 1788 and 1868.

*FIJI HINDI FAUX PAS: In his keynote speech Ahluwalia also incorrectly claims that Fiji Hindi is the only surviving Girmit Hindustani.
*It is NOT true as SARNAMI has done heaps more to protect itself including legislation. There were a few Surinam delegates who would have been annoyed. The other Girmit Hindustani are dying or dead.
*Ahluwalia is yet to answer a series of questions we have raised regarding USP academic Rajni Chand and her trusteeship of the Global Girmit Institute, and if USP benefitted financially from hosting the two day international conference where he was keynote SPEAKER.
*Meanwhile, as FLP leader Mahendra Chaudhry repeated his call for a criminal investigation into the GGI, GANESH CHAND has gone berserk on his Facebook page.

ONE OF THE FIVE GGI TRUSTEES: This Sami was one of the five trustees with Rajni, Ganesh, Hirdesh Sharma, and Anand Chand who formed the GGI in 2017. On 22 February 2023, the three Trustees, while re-registraring the GGI, informed the Registrar that 'Sami now resides in NZ for notable periods of time and has expressed a wish to withdraw from the trusteeship from 2023'.
