Gurdwara defaced with graffiti in US
Washington, January 14
In an apparent hate crime, a gurdwara in California has been defaced with a swastika graffiti. Police officials took statements from the granthi (priest) of Guru Maneyo Granth gurdwara at Orangevale, California.
On Monday morning, people saw words “White Power” and a swastika graffitied on the sign out front. “I strongly condemn the racist graffiti spray painted at a Sikh house of worship in Orangevale,” Indian-American Congressman Dr Ami Bara said.
Sikh American Legal Defence and Education Fund, the oldest Sikh-American civil rights and advocacy group, condemned the hate speech that defaced the gurdwara. — PTI
