‘We are here to stay’: Indian-origin US lawmakers vow to fight anti-India hate in US

Indian-origin US Congressmen Shri Thanedar and Raja Krishnamoorthi vowed to push back against anti-India and anti-immigrant hatred in the United States.

Thanedar warned against growing hostility towards immigrant communities and urged honoring their culture and contributions.

Krishnamoorthi declared Indian-Americans are part of the fabric of the country and will fight anti-Indian and anti-Hindu hatred.

Both lawmakers urged Indian-Americans to contest elections at all levels, including local, state, and national, regardless of party affiliation.

Krishnamoorthi noted Indian-Americans make up about 10% of US doctors and own about 60% of hotels and motels in the country.
