Several Hindu groups are up in arms against a Democratic think tank for inviting to their annual gala individuals and groups that have allegedly attacked Indian American candidates and officials.

The two-day event, ‘Desis Decide', is organised by think tank Indian American Impact. Over the past few years, the think tank has emerged as one of the most influential Indian American democratic groups.

In separate statements, Hindu groups said that inviting such individuals and organisations with a "questionable past is frustrating for them as these organisations have publicly attacked Indian American candidates and elected officials".

"Where Impact's core mission is building Indian American political presence, it's frustrating that it platforms those who publicly attacked Indian American candidates," said Rajiv Pandit, Hindu American PAC Board Member.
