Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has called on President Donald Trump to speak out against hate crimes following the murder of an Indian engineer in Kansas last week. Mrs Clinton, who was also in the race to the White House, said in a tweet that threats and hate crimes are on the rise, and the President must step up and speak out. Mr Trump is yet to comment on the shooting, which took place last Wednesday night, leaving an Indian techie Srinivas Kuchibhotla dead and two others injured in an apparent hate crime.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, voicing Mr Trump's concerns about recent acts of vandalism against Jewish cemeteries in St. Louis and Philadelphia, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said, no one in America should feel afraid to follow the religion of their choosing freely and openly. He said, the President is dedicated to preserving the originating principle of the United States. Mr Spicer said, the reports of shooting in Kansas are equally disturbing.
