Hailing Donald Trump as America’s “best hope”, a group of Indian-Americans has formed a political action committee to campaign for the Republican presidential frontrunner and asserted that the community would benefit the most from his policies.

‘Indian-Americans for Trump 2016’, which was registered as a political action committee (PAC) on January 21 with the federal election commission, is aimed at garnering the support of Indian-Americans to have Mr Trump become the next US President.

“On realising that the agenda of Donald J. Trump for President 2016 is focused on reviving the American economy, rightly bringing America on the world stage, defeating terrorism and establishing peace through strength; many Indian-Americans believe that he is the best hope for America and the right candidate to be the next President of the United States,” the PAC said in a statement.

“The officers of the Indian-Americans for Trump 2016 urge all Americans to join in the effort and support Donald Trump in his endeavour to make America great again by electing him the next President of the USA,” it said.

The PAC said A.D. Amar, a business professor with Seton Hall University in New Jersey has been elected as its president while New York-based attorney Anand Ahuja will be its vice-president.

The Trump campaign did not comment immediately on the formation of the PAC.
