In 2011, Sikhs For Justice moved to the US court Kamal Nath and a few other leaders of Indian National Congress for their alleged role in 1984 anti-Sikh riots, however, the court dismissed the case, saying that the case does not sufficiently "touch and concern" the US. In September 2013, the group filed an amended class action complaint against Sonia Gandhi for protecting members of her party who were involved in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, but in June 2014, the case was dismissed due to lack of subject matter jurisdiction and failure to state a claim. SFJ were going to subpoena Rahul Gandhi as he stated 'some Congressmen were probably involved in 1984 anti-Sikh riots and they have been punished for it.
