Indian techie's murder : Hillary Clinton prods Trump to speak out, White House says incident "disturbing"

Houston, Feb 28 (IBNS) : Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has called upon President Donald Trump to speak out against hate crimes following the murder of an Indian engineer Srinivas Kuchibhotla, though White House made a statement, describing the last week's incident as "disturbing."

"With threats & hate crimes on rise, we shouldn't have to tell @POTUS to do his part. He must step up & speak out," Clinton said on Twitter.

Trump is yet to comment on the shooting that took place in a bar in Kansas City last week.

Kuchibhotla was shot at by an American, who shouted "get out of our country."

The young engineer's colleague Aloke Madasani, another Indian and an American youth, who tried to save them, were injured.

The US police said it was a "hate crime."

White House press secretary Sean Spicer said that the early reports coming from Kansas were "disturbing".

"No one in America should feel afraid to follow the religion of their choosing freely and openly. The president has dedicated to preserving this originating principle of our nation," Spicer said at a news conference on Monday.
