New York, Dec 13: In a historic first, a distinguished Sikh public prosecutor “who has experienced hate and intolerance first-hand” has been nomited to be the next attorney general of the US state of New Jersey. If Gurbir S. Grewal’s nomition by Democrat Governor-elect Phil Murphy is approved by the State Sete early next year, he will be the first Sikh to assume the top state law enforcement position in the United States and the second Indian-American, after Kamala Harris, who held the position in California before her election to the US Sete.
