US approach to techie killing very clear, categorical: India

The approach of US authorities to the killing of an Indian techie is very clear and categorical, India today said, on a day President Donald Trump condemned as "evil" and "hate" the Kansas shooting.
External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Gopal Baglay said safety of Indians all over the world is a matter of top priority for the government and it will remain engaged with all
authorities concerned "everywhere".
He was replying to a question on whether Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar, currently in Washington, is going to raise the issue of killing of the Indian engineer in Kansas and Trump's condemnation of it.

"The safety of Indians all over the world is a matter of top priority for the government. The approach of US authorities to the unfortunate killing of an Indian engineer is very clear and categorical.
"President trump has condemned the killing. We will remain engaged with all the authorities concerned everywhere for the safety of Indians," Baglay said.

Breaking his silence, Trump today condemned as "evil" and "hate" the fatal Kansas shooting in which an Indian techie was killed.
Srinivas Kuchibhotla, 32, was killed and Alok Madasani, another Indian of the same age, injured in the shooting by navy veteran Adam Purinton, who yelled "terrorist" and "get out of my country" before opening fire on them.

The two work for technology firm Garmin.
A 24-year-old American named Ian Grillot who tried to defend the Indians also received injuries in the firing last Wednesday. Purinton, 51, apparently mistook the Indians for immigrants from the Middle East and yelled racial slurs "get out of my country" and "terrorists" before opening fire on them.
Trump's comments came after the White House condemned the shooting as "racially-motivated hatred".
