Reacting to recent attacks on Indian students in the US, the White House has asserted that there is no excuse for violence based on race, gender or any other factor and called it unacceptable in the US.
While addressing a press briefing on Thursday (local time), Coordinator for Strategic Communications at the National Security Council in the White House, John Kirby, stated that US President Joe Biden and his administration have been working very hard to try to thwart and disrupt these kinds of attacks.
In response to a question about recent attacks on Indian students and concerns among parents about sending their children to the US, he said, “There’s no excuse for violence, certainly based on race or gender or religion or any other factor. That’s just unacceptable here in the United States and the President and his administration has been working very, very hard to make sure we’re doing everything we can to work with state and local authorities to try to thwart and disrupt those kinds of attacks and make it clear to anybody who might consider them that they’ll be held properly accountable.”
The statement comes amid a sudden increase in attacks and deaths of Indians and Indian-Americans in the United States.
