Sikhs receive an embrace at the Capitol Hill by the political leaders of America

Washington May 18th - “I am delighted to be the Senator from Punjab as well as from New York” said Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and the former first lady of the United States of America. She received a standing ovation and thunderous applause from the Sikh Americans who had gathered in the Senate side of the Capitol Hill on May 17th for the Sikh American Heritage Dinner Event in Washington, DC. The Sikh Council on Religion and Education (SCORE), based in the nation’s capital organized this event.



(pic is from that specific event where she said that)

It is a great insult for a senator to introduce themselves as being the senator form ANYWHERE ELSE but the state that elected them, particularly when that state is mentioned SECOND
