Want to prevent Trump from winning, says PIO doctor

Immigrants feel uncomfortable and scared after the sudden rise of Donald Trump on the national political stage, an Indian-American doctor-cum-poet has said, adding that he wants to stop the controversial real estate tycoon from entering the White House.

Amit Majumdar, a radiologist based in Dublin, on Monday expressed his anxiety and that of the immigrant community before the two Democratic presidential candidates Hillary and Sanders. “If Trump secures the nomination, I am going to have one mission heading to the ballot box, which is to keep him from taking office,” Majumdar said.

A democrat member with leanings towards Clinton, Majumdar was in January appointed the first Poet Laureate of Ohio by state governor John Kasich, who is among the four Republican presidential candidates in the race now. He has published two novels, Partitions in 2009 and The Abundance in 2011. “I’m a son of immigrants. My parents, both citizens now, have done very well in this great country, and so have I,” he said.
