Following a meeting with an all-party Indian delegation led by MP Shashi Tharoor in Washington DC on Wednesday, US Congressman Ro Khanna said, “The delegation represents India’s pluralism and unity across political and religious lines in condemning Pakistan-backed terrorism. The US has a bipartisan commitment to the India relationship and to standing with India against these terror networks.”

India Caucus Co-Chair Rich McCormick added, “We (India-US) are not just gonna be friends, we’re gonna be allies. The future of the world depends on it.”
