“City turned into Pakistan”: US lawmakers’ mosque remark sparks uproar

Texas (The Uttam Hindu): A statement by Republican Congressman Brian Slaton of Texas has sparked controversy. Slaton said that Dallas, Texas, is becoming more like Pakistan. His statement has sparked sharp reactions not only in American politics but also internationally.

Brian Slaton's statement has been criticized as racist and inflammatory. Critics say it targets the Muslim community and immigrants. The controversy escalated further when it surfaced on social media that the MP's wife is of Indian descent.

According to media reports, Slaton said that Dallas is experiencing demographic changes and that the city is losing its identity. He compared this change to Pakistan, drawing strong opposition from minority communities and human rights organizations.

Following the statement, several American leaders and social organizations condemned it as hateful and divisive, saying such comments were against America's diversity and democratic values.

Slaton's statement has sparked widespread outrage on social media. Many users have questioned how he could make such a statement when his wife is of Indian descent. Some have called it a double standard.

Following the controversy, Brian Slaton clarified that his statement had been distorted and that he had not intended to offend any community. However, his clarification does not appear to have quelled the protests.

Experts believe such statements could further exacerbate political polarization in the US, given the upcoming elections. The case has once again brought issues of race, immigration, and identity to the forefront of debate in the US.
