Modi Petition Glitch

The "Modi Petition Glitch" is the coin term for an unresolved glitch that had a petition wrongly expire. The petition in question was entitled "CANCEL White House Invitation To PM Modi-Organizer of 2002 Massacre of MUSLIMS. Ban BJP For 1984 Attack On Golden Temple". It was created by the group Sikhs for Justice in relation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India being invited to the White House to meet President Obama. They were calling for this invitation to be canceled because of Modi's alleged connections to terrorism in 1984 and 2002, even though his country deemed him not responsible for any of it.

After reaching the required 100k signatures, the glitch itself occured on August 13th after number 100,069 when it was reverted to number 1,197. Conspiracy theorists could say this was deliberate so the White House didn't have to comment on the issue, but whatever the reason of the glitch, the system last read that there were only about 15,000 signatures on August 20th 2014, and it was wrongly deleted.

It should be noted that a Indian based newsource called Niti Central wanted the petition to be deleted since they felt it was "Anti-India". (Barack Obama’s White House must take down anti-India petition)

The group Sikhs for Justice has yet to issue a response concerning the wrongly deleted petition, but it is noted that they plan to picket the White House on September 30th 2014.
