Democratic Senator Bernie Sanders on Wednesday criticised US President Donald Trump for not inviting the family of Indian techie, who was killed in a case of hate crime, to his first address to Congress. Sanders accused Trump of stirring up fear and hatred against immigrants after he only invited the families of those murdered by undocumented immigrants in the US. Sanders questioned why Trump did not invite the families of Srinivas Kuchibhotla, the 32-year-old Indian techie who was killed in Kansas last week, or of the black parishioners killed in Charleston in 2015. “He is stirring up fear and hatred against immigrants and trying to divide our nation,” Sanders continued. But let’s be clear about what Donald Trump is doing in inviting family members who saw a loved one murdered by undocumented immigrants.
