Posted on 8th Aug 2023 by rohit kumar

A bipartisan group of US lawmakers is visiting India to hear Prime Minister Narendra Modi's address at the Red Fort on August 15. The bipartisan parliamentary delegation is led by Indian-American Congressman Ro Khanna and Congressman Michael Waltz. Let me tell you, both are co-chairs of the 'Congressional Caucus on India and Indian Americans, the country's largest bipartisan coalition in the US House.

 

Will also meet people associated with these areas

US lawmakers will visit the Red Fort, where the Prime Minister will address the nation on India's Independence Day. Apart from this, these people will meet people related to business, technology, government, and Bollywood in Hyderabad, Mumbai, and New Delhi. Also visit Rajghat, the historical monument dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi.

 

 

 

these people are coming

Apart from Khanna and Waltz, MPs Deborah Ross, Kat Cammack, Mr Thanedar, Jasmine Crockett as well as Rich McCormick and Ed Case are among those visiting India. However, for MP Khanna, coming to India is a bit more special than MPs. His grandfather Amarnath Vidyalankar was an Indian freedom fighter who spent four years in prison with Gandhiji and later became a part of the first Parliament of India.

 

 

Something special for Ro Khanna

Khanna said it was an honor to lead a bipartisan delegation to India as co-chair of the India Caucus. He said that we will also discuss how to strengthen the economic and defense ties between the two countries during this period.

 

The US will continue to raise human rights concerns with India

In addition, next month the US President will be visiting New Delhi to attend the G-20 summit. Ahead of his visit, a senior official said the US has regularly raised human rights issues with India in the past and will do so in the future. State Department spokesman Matthew Miller told reporters that we regularly raise human rights concerns with the countries we engage with, we have done so with India in the past and we will do so in the future.

 

Miller was asked whether President Joe Biden would speak to India during his upcoming visit regarding alleged Christian persecution in the country. To this, he replied that we have made it clear that Christians oppose the persecution of any religious group, wherever it is in the world.
