FBI Asked to Track Data of Anti-Sikh Crimes

Son of a victim of Sikh shootings speaks at Senate hearing

The son of a massacre victim at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin is asking the federal government to begin collecting statistics on hate crimes against Sikhs.

The 18-year-old Harpreet Sing Saini urged senators at a hearing Wednesday to give his late mother the dignity of being a statistic.

Saini's mother, Paramjit Kaur Saini, was among six people killed and four wounded by a gunman on Aug. 5 before a service was to begin.
