A leader of the Republican Party of US President Donald Trump has raised a big controversy by objecting to the construction of the 90 -foot -high statue of Lord Hanuman in Texas. This comment has come at a time when the sharp rhetoric of American officials against India over tariffs and trade has been connected to anti-India and anti-Hindu indecent language. The dispute increased further after Trump fixed a fee of US $ 1,00,000 for H-1B visas, which most Indians are occupying.

Posting a video of the Hanuman statue to be inaugurated in August 2024, Republican leader Alexander Duncan tweeted, why are we allowing a false statue of a false Hindu God to be installed in Texas? We are a Christian nation! Duncan, who was contesting the Senate elections to represent Texas, then posted another post in which he cited the Bible. He posted you should not accept any God other than me. You should not make an image of any kind of idol or sky, earth or sea in the sea.

The Hindu American Foundation and Indian-Americans reacted sharply to Duncan’s post and described their comments as anti-Hindu and inflammatory. Addressing the Republican Party in Texas, the Hindu American Foundation tweeted, will you discipline your party’s Senate candidate who openly violates your guidelines against discrimination and performs disgusting of anti-Hindu hatred and leaves the first amendment block?
