Indian Foreign Minister Snubs US Democrats over Jayapal
|
 [Daily Pioneer] External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar refused to meet Indian-American Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal who introduced the Congressional resolution on Kashmir urging India to lift all the restrictions in Jammu & Kashmir imposed after revoking Article 370.

Addressing a group of Indian reporters here on Thursday as he concluded his trip to Washington DC, which was primarily to attend the India-US 2+2 dialogue, Jaishankar said the resolution introduced this month in the House of Representatives was not a fair characterisation of the situation in Jammu & Kashmir.
"I am aware of that (Congressional) resolution. I don't think it's a fair understanding of the situation in Jammu & Kashmir, or a fair characterisation of what the Government of India is doing. And I have no interest in meeting her," he said in response to a question.
India has defended the restrictions in Kashmir on the grounds that they were imposed to prevent Pakistan from creating more mischief through proxies and terrorists following the abrogation of Article 370 which ended the special status of Jammu & Kashmir.
Do you treat the resolution currently in the (House Foreign Affairs) committee seriously: the resolution that criticises the situation in India?, the Minister was asked. "I have an interest in meeting people who are objective and open to discussion but not the people who already made up their minds," Jaishankar said in response.
Earlier, the Washington Post reported that Jaishankar "abruptly cancelled a meeting with senior members of Congress this week after US lawmakers refused demands to exclude" Jayapal from the meeting.
Jaishankar was to meet chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Congressman Eliot L Engel; committee's top Republican Michael McCaul and others, including Congresswoman Jayapal, the report said.
"This only furthers the idea that the Indian Government isn't willing to listen to any dissent at all. The seriousness of this moment should've been a reason for a conversation, not dictating who's in the meeting, which seems very petty," Jayapal was quoted as saying by the leading American daily.
Jayapal said she had planned to advance her resolution on Kashmir this week but was urged to wait until after meeting with Jaishankar. Now she plans to renew her push for the resolution in January, the report said.
"My constituents care about the muslimhuman rights situation, thousands of people detained without charges, and a communication crackdown that makes daily life more difficult," she was quoted as saying in the report.
Commie bitch.
However, the Congressional sources familiar with the deliberations said that the meeting was cancelled as House Foreign Affairs Committee kept on changing the ground rules of the meeting and kept on adding new members to the list.
A day before the meeting they added Jayapal and several other lawmakers who were known India-bashers and sponsors of the Congressional resolutions on Kashmir, they said.
| Jaishankar and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh had earlier spoken to President Trump while the 'articles of impeachment' were being debated in the HoR. Jaishankar had a fruitful meet with Esper and Pompeo, and didn't see fit to waste time with commie traitors from a coup plotting posse. |
