Washington area Sikhs marked the anniversary of Oak Creek tragedy with prayers and reflection at Guru Gobind Singh Foundation, Rockville Sikh Centre Monday night.
"Since the Sep 11 attacks, too many Sikh Americans have been wrongfully subjected to hate crimes and discrimination," said Ami Bera, the lone Indian American member of the US House of Representatives vowing to keep working closely with the community for protecting domestic civil rights.
Other members of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus (CAPAC) also pledged to "work to ensure that discrimination and hateful acts based on intolerance do not have a place in our nation".
