‘U.S’ Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump will address a rally of Hindu-Americans in New Jersey on October 15 and half of the proceedings from the event will be used for the benefit of Kashmiri Pandits.
The founder of Republican Hindu Coalition (RHC) Shalabh Kumar on Friday claimed that this is the first of its kind event where Mr. Trump is scheduled to address only one specific ethnic community.
“…This is a charity concert organised for the benefit of terror victims in various countries…The 50 per cent of the proceeds from this concert will go for the benefit of Kashmiri Pandits in India,” Kumar told reporters here.Mr. Kumar is also Chairman of Indian American Advisory Council to the Republican Party.
On the other hand,Donald Trump no longer wants to impose a total ban on Muslims entering the US, his running mate Mike Pence has said, indicating a disavow of one of its most provocative policy proposals by the Republican presidential nominee. “It is not Donald Trump’s position now,” Pence told CNN in an interview yesterday when asked about Trump’s stated policy of banning Muslims from entering the country.
“Donald Trump has… Talked about putting the security of the American people first… And he’s made it clear our position is, we’re going to suspend immigration from countries compromised by terrorism,” Pence argued.
Pence said Trump has underscored on the need to suspend immigration from countries and territories that have been compromised by terrorism. “I understand why you want to play the oldies, you want to talk about the where the campaign began or what statements were made, but the American people are focused on the policies that Donald Trump is articulating every day across this country,” 57-year-old Pence said.
Later at an election rally in Pennsylvania, Pence slammed the Obama Administration for making alleged cash payment to Iranians as ransom, which has been denied by the US Government.
