  US Diwali Protest: A group of conservative activists created a ruckus during the Diwali event in Seattle, USA. These activists, who came under the leadership of Jack Lang, raised placards with racial slogans against people of Indian origin and the Hindu community. This incident has been strongly condemned by American parliamentarians and community leaders. Jack Lang and his partner Thomas Allen protested by waving the American flag. They displayed placards with slogans such as 'Drive all Indians out of the country' and 'Stop settling Hindus in place of Christians'. The commotion happened when a dance performance was going on on the stage. Videos of this incident went viral on social media. The rowdy activists were quickly kicked out of the venue.
