Bangalore: Joe Crowley, the co-chairman of Congressional group on India and Indian-Americans, has come up with an initiative to track the hate crimes against Sikhs, Hindus and Arab Americans, reports PTI.He has asked the Department of Justice and the FBI to track these crimes and is also planning to send a letter to these departments, carrying the signatures of 40 Congressmen.
"When you hear about Hindus targeted for wearing a 'bindi' or 'tilak' or Sikh boys and men living in fear of attack simply because they wear a turban, it's time to say enough is enough and take action. Groups from India aren't the only ones targeted for their faith, but I can tell you the Indian-American community is deeply disturbed by what is going on," Crowley told.
"They want action, and they want it now. At the very least, they want the government to collect comprehensive data and respond to threats," said Crowley.
Crowley has requested the help of his fellow congressmen to join in this initiative of sending the letter, since it is high time that such indiscrimination and crimes came to an end.
