Not a single Indian American has lobbied to pressure Trump-led US to ease up on anti-India policies: Shashi Tharoor
A parliamentary panel raised the recent adversarial decisions taken by the US aimed at India and the "silence" of the Indian-American community over these developments during discussions with a visiting delegation of US lawmakers on Tuesday.
All five members of the US delegation were Democrats, who are in the opposition and have been broadly critical of US President Donald Trump's policies.
India's chairman of the Standing Committee on External Affairs, Shashi Tharoor, said after the meeting that one of the points the panel members, who are drawn from the ruling as well as opposition parties, raised was why the Indian-American community has been "so silent about all this".
Tharoor was referring to the recent spate of anti-India policies understaken by the Trump Administration, including the H1B visa issue, punitive 50% tariffs, and sanctions on the Chabahar Port in Iran, among others.
"I do want to stress that one of the points we raised is why the Indian-American community has been so silent about all this. One of the Congresswomen said not one phone call has come to her office from any Indian-American voter asking her to support a change of policy. This is something that is surprising," Tharoor said.
"We all need to reach out to the Indian-American population, saying if you care about your relationship with the motherland, then you also have to fight for and speak for it, and make more of an effort to press your political representative to stand up for India," he concluded.
