Gabbard once took her oath of office on the Bhagavad Gita and the DNI nominee could now face scrutiny for her Hindu nationalist ties.
Tulsi Gabbard, Donald Trump's pick to be the director of national intelligence, has faced scrutiny over alleged connections to Russia and the Kremlin as well as a visit with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, but some who have worked with her and have followed her political career told Newsweek that they are concerned by her ties to Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh , a right-wing Hindu nationalist movement that counts Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a longtime member.
Mike and his wife, Carrol, ran a fully functioning Krishna temple near downtown Honolulu that Parker used to frequent. He described the temple as always offering 'a small friendly family-type gathering.'That was when he said he had some interactions with Tulsi, though he says that they talked more in the mid-2000s when she was older and becoming interested in a political career.'So, that was the beginning of Tulsi's connection with Ram Madhav,' Parker said.
