ACTION ALERT

 

 

 

Stop Dan Burton from Succeeding Henry Hyde For Chairmanship of the

Powerful

House International Relations Committee (HIRC)

 

 

Fellow Indian Americans, we must come together as a community to send

a

strong message to anti-India Congressman, Mr. Dan Burton that he is

not

qualified

to serve as the Chair of one of the most important House Committees

that

oversees the foreign policy of the United States.

 

THE ISSUE

Mr. Burtons claim to fame has been his incendiary anti-India rhetoric

and

slanderous allegations against India. Over the last 16 years Dan

Burton has made

unsubstantiated charges against India more than 34 times as recorded

in the

Congressional Record. If not countered effectively, this will

jeopardize the

burgeoning strategic relationship between the world's two largest

democracies -

United States and India! Following are two typical remarks by Dan

Burton as

recorded by Congressional Record

"The Indian Government is one of the world's worst human rights

abusers......Since 1947, India has killed over 200,000 Christians in

Nagaland;

250,000

Sikhs in Punjab from 1984-1992; and 53,000 Muslims in Kashmir since

1988." -

(HON.

DAN BURTON in the House of Representatives Thursday, May 25, 1995

Congressional Record Page: E1140)

"India also blames Pakistan for the attack on its parliament, even

though

India has a record of committing acts of terrorism in the guise of

various

minorities. India has also been guilty of terrorism against the

minorities

within

its own borders." (HON. DAN BURTON in the House of Representatives

Tuesday,

February 12, 2002 Congressional Record Page: E113)

WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?

The question to ask then is what motivates Mr. Burton to do this year

after

year. The simple answer is that he receives much needed campaign

contributions

from anti-India sources that instigate him to such action, including

extorting

money from the Pakistani Embassy through its lobbyist and from

sources of ill

repute such as one Gurmit Singh Aulakh who has been barred from

entering

Congressional offices. Mr. Burton is well known for his many other

breaches in

ethics and poor judgment as a lawmaker. There are Washington watch

dog groups

that have petitioned Congress to investigate Mr. Burton on the

following

charges:

Defrauding the Federal Government by Hiring a Ghost Employee

Defrauding His Own Campaign Committee and Converted Campaign Funds to

Personal Use by Hiring Ghost Employees

Extorting Campaign Contributions

Misused Congressional Funds, Offices, Resources and Staff for

Campaign

Purposes
