One US lawmaker has called for Pakistan not to use the current tensions with India as a pretext to further undermine democracy, while another offered full-throated support and endorsement of India’s retaliatory strikes late Tuesday night. Raja Krishnamoorthi, who is of Indian descent, said that in the wake of last month’s horrific terrorist attack in Pahalgam, the need to combat terrorism and prevent future violence has become even more urgent. Meanwhile, Shri Thanedar, the second Indian-descent lawmaker, said, terrorism cannot be tolerated, and it cannot go unanswered. Thanedar added that India has the right to defend its people, and he stands firmly with their ally in its efforts to dismantle these extremist networks. Krishnamoorthi from Illinois and Thanedar from Michigan are members of the Democratic Party.
