Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary
Clinton's campaign has slammed her Republican rival Donald Trump for
mocking an Indian call centre worker during an election rally, the media
reported on Monday.
Trump's behaviour showed disrespect towards
the Indian community and "reflects his divisive rhetoric", John Podesta,
chairman of the Clinton Campaign, told reporters, the Asia Times
reported.
"He has run a campaign of bigotry and
division. I think that's quite dangerous for the country when you think
about the fact that you need friends, allies," Podesta said.
"The kind of campaign he is running breeds disrespect across the globe and breeds division and danger here at home," he added.
Podesta was reacting to Trump's apparent use
of a fake Indian accent to mock a call centre representative in India
during a campaign rally in Delaware.
The billionaire said that he called up his
credit card company to find out whether their customer support is based
in the US or overseas.
Trump, however, described India as a great place, asserting that he is not angry with Indian leaders.
