A Parliamentary Committee of India raised the issue of adverse decisions by the US recently to a delegation of American MPs. A delegation of five Democratic Party MPs from the US has come to India, including MPs of US President Donald Trump’s policies.
Shashi Tharoor, chairman of the Parliamentary Standing Committee related to Foreign Affairs, said after the meeting that the members of the committee questioned why the Indian-American migrant community has kept silence on the matter. Some members of the American delegation led by Amy Bera also spoke on this. Some members in the delegation are of Indian origin.
Tharoor said, “There was talk on the issue why the Indian-American migrant community is so silent on all this.” He said, “We all need to talk to the Indian-American community and it should be told that if you care about your relationship with the motherland, then you have to fight, speak for it too. To pressurize your political representative to stand with India.
