“Saddened and shocked at the incident of Indian engineer in Kansas USA, who was an unfortunate victim. We don’t support the politics of hate”, she said in a statement.

“The world is one big family. People from different countries live in different nations. We must all understand this”, she said.

A 32-year-old Indian engineer was killed and his Indian colleague injured after a Navy veteran yelling “get out of my country” and “terrorist” fired at them at a bar in an apparent racially motivated hate crime. An American who tried to save the victims was also injured.
