American lawmakers should know that if they have concerns over India, We too have equal concerns over USA
A group of American lawmakers on Tuesday wrote to US President Joe Biden, asking him to raise directly with Prime Minister Narendra Modi ”areas of concern” and discuss with him the full range of issues important to a successful, strong, and long-term relationship between the two countries.
We Indians will strongly encourage Biden and these lawmakers to discuss their Concerns in their parliament ( Senate & Congress ). They better not raise anything with PM Modi because then we will do the same with Biden. India is having more concerned over USA then they can ever have over India.
”As long-time supporters of a strong US-India relationship, we also believe that friends can and should discuss their differences in an honest and forthright way,” read the letter signed by 75 lawmakers, including Indian-American lawmaker Pramila Jayapal. ”That is why we respectfully request that – in addition to the many areas of shared interests between India and the US – you also raise directly with Prime Minister Modi areas of concern,” the letter read.
Now Indians are no more impressed with Congressmen or senators of Indian origin. And please American politicians must get encouraged to not try and impose their “ Values “ (mostly convoluted) on others.
Describing India as an important member of the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (the Quad) and a crucial partner for stability in the Indo-Pacific, the letter said that the lawmakers support the deepening strategic partnership between the two countries.
American politicians need to be assured that India will not join any military block against any one. Yes we will strive for peace in every part of the world, specifically the Indian Ocean and the Indo Pacific.
”You have once again made respect for human rights, press freedom, religious freedom, and pluralism core tenets of American foreign policy. Moreover, these tenets are necessary to the functioning of true democracy. In order to advance these values with credibility on the world stage, we must apply them equally to friend and foe alike, just as we work to apply these same principles here in the United States,” it said.
Whatever be the American policy, we Indians strongly encourage the Americans to keep their policy to themselves and never try to impose it on India.
