(RNS) — Just weeks after his mother was one of seven killed by a white supremacist at a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, Harpreet Singh Saini testified before a U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee in 2012 to lobby the federal government to start tracking hate crimes against Sikhs. He was 18 at the time. 'He killed my mother while she prayed. He shot and killed five more men. All of them were fathers and all of them had a turban like me. Now people know all of our names,' Saini said during his testimony.
