"After weeks of questions, Obama transition team member and former
Google executive Sonal Shah today renounced her former connection to a
Hindu organization accused of fomenting violence against Muslims and
Christians in India.

In a statement obtained exclusively by NextGov and National Journal,
Shah says that if she could have anticipated the role of the Vishwa
Hindu Parishad (VHP) in the 2002 outbreak of communal violence in the
Indian state of Gujarat, she never would have associated with the
group's American branch a year earlier"
