The Democratic lawmaker's remarks came amid concerns over incidents targeting Indians and other minority communities in the US.
In a post on X, Krishnamoorthi referred to chants reportedly heard during a demonstration outside a Texas city hall.
"'Go back to India.' 'You will not replace us.' Those were the chants of white supremacists outside a Texas city hall just weeks ago. Whether directed at Hindus, Muslims, Jews, or any other community, hate has no place in America. We must stand shoulder-to-shoulder against bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination wherever it appears," he wrote.
Krishnamoorthi urged Americans to unite against discrimination and said prejudice against any community should be challenged irrespective of who is being targeted.
