Claiming to be the “beginning of a coordinated anti-Hindu attack,” an Indian-American member of US Congress has said that there is a rise in attacks against Hindus and Hinduism in the US.

Congressman Shri Thanedar stated that such attacks have created a lot of fear among the Indian Hindu communities in the US.

“We have seen lots of attacks happening on Hindu temples across US. It is time for us to seek support. Hindu communities are in fear. A local law enforcement hasn’t taken enough action, not seen any suspects or arrests, not seen any resolution to this issue,” Thander said.

Citing the recent attacks on Hindu temples, the Congressman said “We have experienced substantially more events of this kind in recent months. I have a feeling that this is just the beginning of a very coordinated attempt against this community and the community must stand together. The time has come and I will stand with you”.
