Hearing on Indian minorities one sided: alleges US Congressman

“By inviting a panel of witnesses that give voice to only one side of an issue, I believe the Commission drifts from its mission, whether intentionally or not,” he said.  

Faleomavaega in the past has been instrumental in passage of non-binding Congressional resolutions in favour of Narendra Modi, the BJP's prime ministerial candidate.  

“India is a multi-cultural and multi-religious democracy. India, like the United States, has an independent and transparent Judiciary and, after an investigation that has been ongoing for more than a decade, Modi has been cleared by the highest court in the land of any and all allegations that he intentionally failed to protect Muslims during religious violence in Gujarat,” he said.

“As the world's oldest democracy, it is our responsibility to let the people of India chooses their man of destiny without undue influence from the United States,” he said.
