USIRC Tweets 2022
Thank you @kevinomccarthy @GOPLeader
Not only has @Ilhan Omar indulged in anti-Semitic tropes, but she also harassed the Indian & #Hindu-American community with her virulently anti-#India rhetoric. @IlhanMN should be removed from the House Foreign Affairs Committee. https://t.co/EZUcknpMsE

@USIRCOnline agrees with @mrubin1971 that a thriving Indian #Kashmir is Pakistan’s worst fear as it repudiates the two-nation theory & Pakistan’s raison d’etre. India’s security umbrella should encompass all of Kashmir. A strong #India = regional stability https://t.co/lLiXoX5VsX

The kind of #Hinduphobia festering in many of #India’s neighbors is a poignant reminder of why the Indian government passed the Citizenship Amendment Act #CAA to protect religious minorities in those nations (2/2)

@USIRCOnline congratulates Draupadi Murmu & her historic elevation as India’s first #Adivasi President.
Congresswoman @Ilhan Omar lies when she accuses #India of persecuting tribal communities. The rise of #DraupadiMurmu is a testament to India’s vibrant, pluralist democracy. pic.twitter.com/nn2ep4m77R

The Chinese Communist Party is engaged in relentless predatory behavior against #India. We are 2 years into the Biden Administration, and we still don’t have an Ambassador to India. This is unacceptable.@USIRCOnline calls for a final vote on @ericgarcetti

Thank you @RepSteveChabot & @RepRoKhanna for introducing a historic resolution recognizing the Bangladesh Genocide. Pakistan was responsible for the murder of 3 million Bengalis, many of whom belonged to the #Hindu minority. Countless more were displaced. We must #NeverForget https://t.co/RXYYXEnpWf

The @IAMCouncil pays only lip service to human rights & religious freedom when their own members sympathize with the Taliban.

7. Moreover, India’s rape epidemic crosses party lines with no one party having a monopoly on virtue. For example, in Congress-ruled Rajasthan, eight men gang-raped an underage girl. Similar episodes have transpired in New Delhi, which is not controlled by the BJP (8/9)

@USIRCOnline condemns a Biden Administration @POTUS proposal to modernize #Pakistan‘s F-16 fighter jets. This would be a geopolitical windfall for a rogue state while harming the US, #India, and the world. Congressional lawmakers must thwart this deal from coming into fruition. pic.twitter.com/eqhbwhmcYs

Congressman @Andy_Levin condemns the repeal of #Article370, #CAA & Indian farm reforms

It’s clear that Hindus for Human Rights @Hindus4HR stands for neither human rights nor Hindus when they find it so difficult to say without a qualifier that 3 million Bengalis, a substantial proportion of whom were #Hindu, were murdered in a genocide orchestrated by #Pakistan https://t.co/qbONfOLKeO

@USIRCOnline believes @BetoORourke‘s critique in 2019 of Article 370’s repeal was overwrought & misinformed.

For these reasons, USIRC completely rejects the New York Times advertisement. The lack of any parcel of truth in any of those assertions confirms the anti-#India animus of groups like the @IAMCouncil & @Hindus4HR (9/9)

@USIRCOnline is pleased to see @RepRoKhanna amend the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to waive CAATSA sanctions for #India.
