Washington (US) – “Hindus in the US have the power to choose the next President. I’m not just saying this, I think you have that potential. Once you engage with the right leaders, you will realise your power. You will write laws for the US, which will take our country on the path of progress for decades”, praised Congressman Richard McCormick. The first Hindu-American Conference was organised on the 14th of June in the Capitol Hill of the US. He was addressing the audience at that time.
