Washington: Senior White House officials will hold meetings with Sikh and Muslim community leaders, a US presidential spokesman said today, as the country reels under a spate of hate-crimes directed against these communities in the aftermath of San Bernardino terrorist attack.

"The White House is routinely engaged in an active dialogue with faith leaders across the country. There are a number of engagements today. The President does not plan to participate in any of the meetings that are planned," the White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest told reporters at his daily news conference.
