A Hindu temple was ransacked by
some miscreants in Seattle, Washington. The incident has rung alarm bells in
the US and has drawn strict remarks from India, where leaders have not misses
out on reminding President Obama of what he said about religious freedom during
his India trip.
The sign of Swastik and words
'Get Out' were spray painted on a wall of the temple. The temple is said be to
be the biggest in the whole of North East America.
"One Indian Brutally
attacked by US Police, One Indian Shot dead, One Temple Vandalized .Martin
Luther King would really be saddened by this!" twitted Sambit Patra of
BJP, referencing to Obama's statement in which he had said that Gandhi would
have been saddened to see the religious intolerance in India.

The Seattle temple has been vandalized
on the eve of Mahashivratri celebrations. "This kind of thing should not
happen in the US. Who are you telling to get out? This is a nation of
immigrants," chairman of the board of trustees of the temple, Nitya
Niranjan said to the media.
A man of Indian origin was shot
dead in a liquor store on 15 February in New Jersey. Last week a Gujrati old
man was severely beaten up by the cops; he is in the hospital, partially paralyzed.
And now this incident, the amount of religious intolerance seems to be on a
boil in the US.
