Tulsi Gabbard voted against House Resolution 417

Quote

The Indian PM was once described by Katrina Lantos-Swett, vice-chair of the influential US Commission for International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) as the "poster child for India's failure to punish the violent".

The Hindu American Foundation (HAF) has repeatedly slammed various resolutions passed by the USCIRF, which criticise atrocities and violence perpetrated against religious minorities in India.

In lock step with the HAF, and eagerly parroting their contrived equivalences, Tulsi Gabbard, the first Hindu-American in the US Congress, voted against House Resolution 417, which criticised India's dismal record on violence directed towards minorities - Christians, Muslims and Dalits - and called for concrete steps to ensure their security.

Yet, a few years later, Gabbard tabled a resolution that focused on the neighboring state, Muslim-majority Bangladesh, saying she was "particularly concerned over issues of religious freedom, and specifically, attacks against minority Hindus, Christians, Buddhists, and others" in the country.

In recent months, Gabbard has emerged as a de facto spokesperson for Syrian mass murderer Bashar Al-Assad, vigorously defending his brutal regime, to the point where she has denied his undisputable role in the chemical weapons attack in April, killing dozens of people, an act so heinous it was condemned by hawks in the GOP.
