Indian-American Sikh Republican Harmeet Kaur Dhillon recently recited ‘Ardas’ at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on Monday in the presence of the party’s presidential nominee Donald Trump, sparking controversy on social media.

“We recite the Ardas prayer before any new endeavour, giving thanks to God and asking for his protection and help to uphold the values of humility, truth, courage, service, and justice for all,” she said.

Following her recital of 'Ardas', Dhillon was trolled on social media and most of them appeared to be from her party's support base.

In a statement on Friday, Krishnamoorthi, Krishnamoorthi, a four-term Congressman from Illinois, said, "The reprehensible and racist response to Republican National Committeewoman Harmeet Dhillon's Sikh prayer on Monday night is completely unacceptable."

"Discrimination on the basis of race or religion has no place in America, and must be called out and strongly condemned by Democrats and Republicans alike when it occurs," he said.

The Congressman has been vocal in speaking against discrimination against Indian-Americans, cutting across party lines.

At the Republican National Convention last Monday, Dhillon said, "These last 48 hours have been some of the most intense, yet more prayerful of our lives, the heinous attack on President Trump and his supporters made all of us pause and seek answers in comfort."

A video posted on 'X' by the California Republican Party, showed Dhillon saying at the Fiserv Forum: "I come from a family of Sikh immigrants, and I'm honored to share with you, my fellow Republicans and guests tonight, a prayer from my faith and tradition practised by over 25 million worldwide."

"We recite the Ardas (Sikh prayer) before any new endeavor, giving thanks to God and asking for his protection and help to uphold the values of humility, truth, courage, service, and justice for all," she added.

"Dear Waheguru, our one true God, we thank you for creating America as a unique heaven on this Earth, where all people are free to worship according to their faith. We seek your blessings and guidance for our beloved country. Please bless our people with wisdom as they vote for the upcoming election and please bless with humility, honesty, skill and integrity all those who conduct the election," she had said after offering the 'ardas'.
