Author Salman Rushdie 1000% In For “Indian Woman” Kamala Harris for US Presidential Polls

Noted author Salman Rushdie has backed US Vice President Kamala Harris for the US presidential elections.

“Great to see Indian woman…I’m 1000 per cent in for her”, he said. According to him, it is great to see a “black and Indian” woman running for the White House.

Rushdie slammed former President Donald Trump by terming him a “hollow man without a single noble quality”.  The Booker Prize-winning author said the alternative can’t be allowed to happen.

Rushdie came out in support of Kamala Harris while speaking at a virtual event named ‘South Asian Men for Harris’.

“It’s a critical moment…I am a boy from Bombay, and it’s great to see an Indian woman running for the White House. My wife is African American, so we like the fact that there is a black and Indian woman running for the White House,” he said at the event.

“We have to make that work, because, we can’t allow the alternative to happen…this hollow man without a single noble quality trying to drag this country towards authoritarianism. That cannot happen. Kamala, I believe, is the person, who can prevent it…I am right in 1000 per cent in for her,” Rushdie further said.
