‘As representatives of the Indian American community, we have been encouraged by Senator Barack Obama’s message of inclusion and his promise to bring a new kind of politics to the United States.
‘This is why we are so concerned about media reports indicating that his staff may be engaging in the worst kind of anti-Indian American stereotyping,’ Puri wrote in his letter.
Indian Americans have been caught in the campaign crossfire of the two leading Democratic presidential hopefuls - Obama and former first lady Hillary Clinton.
Obama fired the first salvo shortly after Clinton released her financial information under government ethics rules for presidential candidates.
Obama’s team circulated what was purported to be an analysis of ‘Hillary Clinton (D-Punjab)’s Personal Financial And Political Ties To India’.
