Increasing hate crimes in the US

Unfortunately the wave of religious and racial partition spread after the election of Donald Trump as the president of the US has opened its strike with the live of Indian engineer of Hyderabad origin Sriniwas Kuchibhotla. He was shot dead in a crowded bar at Oleth (Kansas) by an adult ex-naval personnel treating him as a migrant from the Middle East. His friend was also injured in the firing who also belongs to Hyderabad. The murder of Sriniwas can't be spelled as an act of a crazy man. Somewhere there is an environment behind it which is increasing not only the hatred but the crimes related to it also. The 57 year old assailant Adam Purinton fired at both treating them as terrorists from the Middle East. While firing he was shouting "Get out of my country". Sriniwas joined Garmin in 2014. His wife Sunaina Dumala also works there with a company. Although the US president condemns such crimes, but the rise in such crimes in last few days, that indicates that the main reason behind this is the politics which Trump has started in the US. Since the swearing in by Trump, such incidents are on high rise. While earlier the number of hatred based crimes could be counted on fingers, now more than 200 such incidents occur every day. Hatred based 857 crimes have been lodged within nine days of assuming power by Trump. Intelligence Services Chief Robert Boyce has also admitted 115 per cent rise in such crimes after the election of Trump as president. The murder of Sriniwas tells that not only the crimes are on rise but the criminals are getting more fearless and making more dangerous attacks. As per the people present at the spot the assailant was shouting "Get out of my country". This also depicts the environment being created nowadays in the US. It is believed that they are snatching jobs of the US citizens. To stop them somewhere H1B visa rules are being changed, somewhere deduction in the number of Green Cards issued every year is being talked about. Such nations are being listed, from where the visiting people be totally banned. The presidential election has put the hate crime on top once again.
