New Yorkers Rally in Support of Sikh Father Run Down in Hate Crime

:dateline:Exactly two years after a racist gunman took six lives and injured many others at a Gurdwara in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, New Yorkers of diverse backgrounds led by the Sikh community rallied in support of Sandeep Singh, a Sikh American father who was run over by a truck last week moments after the driver called him a �terrorist� and told him to �go back to your country.�

Remembering the lives lost at Oak Creek, Sandeep Singh�s wife, Prabhpreet Kaur spoke at the rally and demanded justice for her husband. She also read a moving statement from Sandeep, which he recorded from his hospital bed: �I am in a great deal of pain, but I will survive. I was attacked because I am a Sikh and because I look like a Sikh. Justice should be served so that no one else goes through what I have been through. We need to create a world without hate.�
