Washington, Jul 12: Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi expressed concern over the treatment of Muslims in India during her talk with chairman of the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF), John Chambers at a Forum event in Washington DC.
Pelosi stated her main agenda has often been strengthening the India-Us relationship. She considered it to be a proud moment when Prime Minister Modi was part of the joint session of Congress back in 2016. She continued to commend Modi on his skill of delivering speeches and made it a point to appreciate him regarding the same. Pelosi stated that she always felt it was necessary to bring up concerns over treatment of Muslims in India and considered it wise to talk about it occasionally when discussing about the Ind-US relationship.
Pelosi also believed that values and influence of Mahatma Gandhi on the civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr, has harboured the relationship between the two countries. She also called satyagraha as 'the spiritual gift that India has given to the United States'.
Further, Pelosi praised Mahatma Gandhi for his values and his employment of nonviolence and stated that she read about him in her childhood.
