US Congressman Backs India In Fight Against Terror & To Balance China

US Congressman Francis Rooney (Republican from Florida) has come out in huge support for a strategic relationship with India to counter terrorism and balance China. Delivering remarks on the floor of the House on Wednesday Rooney said, “I rise today to recognize the critical relationship with our ally India. I recently had the great pleasure of sitting down with India’s ambassador to the United States, His Excellency Harsh Vardhan Shringla to discuss the critical issues facing India and the importance of the bilateral relationship between India and the United States.” “India faces many regional and geopolitical threats. Islamic insurgents are a constant threat, spreading terror throughout Jammu and Kashmir and elsewhere in India. We should support the government in Delhi in the continued fight against terror,” Rooney noted.
