Mathura Sreedharan trolled for ‘Bindi’, Ohio AG says, ‘If her name or color bothers you …’
Indian origin Mathura Sreedharan was appointed as the 12th Solicitor General of Ohio, inviting the anger of online trolls, who questioned why a ‘non-US-man’ person was not chosen for the post. Sreedharan’s LinkedIn went viral as critics questioned his credibility – to issue an explanation to Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, or to release a clapback on the trolls. Dave Yost, who announced the promotion of Mathura, said that Mathura is being incorrectly depicted as a non-American. He said, “Some comments have falsely stated that Mathura is not American. He is a United States citizen, married an American citizen, and children of American citizens,” he said. “If his name or color bothers you, the problem is not with him or his appointment,” he said.“Mathura is fantastic … she won her argument in Scots last year. He had worked under both SGS (Phool and Gesar) recommended her. I told her that when I have basically hired her, I need to argue with her. He all the time … she is excited to promote him. She will serve Ohio well,” Wrest would be well.Yost’s clapback also met trolling as people commented that it was not “American-American”. “Is he a Christian? This is the biggest factor that concerns me. On his forehead, I am not worried that he is,” one wrote. “Another American job … was given to foreigners,” another wrote. A third user wrote, “He is an Indian. They first do a loyalty for other Indians. Awesome pick. Full United Nations-American. GOP is pathetic,” written by a third user.“No last name fought in the American Civil War with ‘Sreedharan’. He is not an American,” the other wrote.Before joining the office of Ohio Solicitor, Mathura, Judge of the US Court of Appeal, Steven J.
