Washington, 16 October, 2013-The son of Gurdwara leader slain in a massacre said he may seek the Congress seat of Republican heavyweight Paul Ryan, calling for a more peaceful America. Amardeep Kaleka --whose father Satwant Singh Kaleka was credited with saving lives when he fought off a white supremacist in the August 5, 2012 assault in Oak Creek, Wisconsin -- said he hoped to decide by November whether to seek the Democratic nomination to challenge Ryan, the Republican vice presidential candidate last year.Kaleka hit out at Ryan, chair of the House Budget Committee, over the ongoing shutdown of the federal government in which some 800,000 workers have been furloughed. Republican hardliners have refused to authorize spending without forcing changes in President Barack Obama's signature reform of expanding health care coverage.
