Support For India's Initiatives In Jammu & Kashmir Increases In US Congress

As many as six US Congressmen have spoken out on the floor of the House in support of India’s initiative in Jammu and Kashmir in what would reflect strong support for Delhi’s counter-terror initiatives against cross-border terror. Congressman Scott Perry (Republican-Pennsylvania) recently made a statement in the House in support of Government of India’s initiative in Jammu and Kashmir. He was the sixth Congressman to support India’s moves in J & K. This is reflected in the statement in the House where he says, “I stand with India in their aspiration to provide equal economic, social, and political opportunities to all citizens. As part of this pursuit, two-thirds of the Indian Parliament voted last year to change the status of Jammu and Kashmir.
