Letter by Ed Royce, George Holding.
By Deepak Chitnis
WASHINGTON, DC: Two US Congressman have written an open letter to Speaker of the House John Boehner, requesting that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi be allowed to address a Joint Meeting of Congress ahead of his scheduled visit with President Barack Obama in September.
The two Congressmen who have written the letter are Ed Royce of California, and George Holding of North Carolina, both of whom are Republicans, like Boehner. Royce is also the Chairman of House Foreign Affairs Committee, which Holding is also a member of the same, in addition to being a member of the House Judiciary Committee, too.
In the letter, both Congressmen urge Congress to open up avenues of communication with India, saying that the US-India bilateral relationship is a critical economic component for both nations. To that end, Royce and Holding want Boehner to bring Modi to the US sooner than September, to forge new ties with Congress and smooth out the two countries’ relationship ahead of Modi’s already-scheduled rendezvous with Obama, which is set to be his first-ever trip to the US.
“As you know, India is a critical partner of the United States. In every aspect – whether it be in political, economic or security relations – the United States has no more important partner in South Asia. It is not an overstatement to say that the U.S.-India relationship will be one of the defining partnerships of the 21st century,” the letter says.
The US government is in full back-pedal mode as it tries to become friendly with India’s new leader, who the US has repeatedly denied a visa over the years under accusations that he discreetly sanctioned the 2002 Gujarat riots, which killed thousands of religious minorities in Modi’s home state.
The full letter from Royce and Holding can be read below:
Dear Speaker Boehner,
We are writing to request that Mr. Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India, be granted the honor of addressing a Joint Meeting of Congress when he travels to Washington, D.C. this September. With more than 500 million people voting in the recent Indian election, it was both the world’s largest democratic event and an historic moment for India. The U.S. must now work closely with Prime Minister Modi to strengthen the important relationship between the two countries.
As you know, India is a critical partner of the United States. In every aspect – whether it be in political, economic or security relations – the United States has no more important partner in South Asia. It is not an overstatement to say that the U.S.-India relationship will be one of the defining partnerships of the 21st century.
We are optimistic that the mandate given to Prime Minister Modi will help India thrive economically. Under Mr. Modi’s leadership, the state of Gujarat has flourished. Home to a mere five percent of the country’s population, Gujarat now accounts for nearly 25 percent of all Indian exports. Poverty rates have fallen dramatically, and infrastructure has grown impressively.
Importantly, Prime Minister Modi has promised to focus on private enterprise, reduce bureaucracy, and strengthen trade ties with major partners. Since 2001, U.S.-India trade has experienced impressive growth, but our commercial relationship remains far below the scale of our markets. Prime Minister Modi’s commitment to cut the red tape that has long plagued our trade relationship gives reason for hope that our economic partnership will flourish.
Thank you for your consideration of this request. Prime Minister Modi’s visit to the United States will undoubtedly be a seminal event for the nation’s vibrant Indian American community. We look forward to working with you to ensure that this trip is a success.
Sincerely,
EDWARD R. ROYCE
GEORGE HOLDING

Filthy Indian niggers are going crazy that the United States wants to “honor” filthy nigger Modi by having him address a joint session of U.S. Congress. They are silent about the honor given to the greatest Indian of all time:- “”India’s greatest scientist and greatest living Indian publicly tortured in Harvard seminar, systematically and totally starved for up to 3 weeks at a time, made semi-starved and homeless and even blind for years, kept under 24-hour audio and video surveillance as well as surveillance of [and interference with] communications and electrical typewriter and computer use, document creation and photocopying, etc., by satellite for more than past 3 decades, systematically harassed and in poverty and neutralised and robbed of his work at the cost of hundreds of millions of dollars per year, robbed of crores in his money and property in India by C.I.A.-RAW, forced back into exile in the U.S., all with full cooperation and participation of India’s RAW and India’s C.I.A.-RAW-controlled prime ministers, politicians and media — to keep India poor, weak and enslaved” and how this means the nuclear destruction of New Delhi and then the coast-to-coast destruction of the U.S.; see my blog titled ‘Nuclear Supremacy For India Over U.S.’ which can be found by a Yahoo/Google search with the title; my biography can be found in Marquis’ Who’s Who in the World, 2014 and earlier editions.” In the past few years I have had India’s nuclear forces emplace India’s nuclear warheads in Washington, New York and other U.S. cities, ready to be exploded. Simultaneously destroying Washington, New York and New Delhi (RAW headquarters, South Block and North Block) with a warning that additional U.S. cities will be similarly destroyed, with nuclear warheads already emplaced in them, if there is any retaliation or sign of retaliation, will immediately make India the supreme military and economic power in the world even before implementing my proposal about money which can make India’s economy grow 30% per year or more.
