May 06, 2013, Washington DC: The US India Political Action Committee (USINPAC) expressed surprise and sadness at the remarks by Democrat leader Dick Harpootlian against Governor Nikki Haley of South Carolina implying that she would go back to the country of her ancestors if she lost the election. He was introducing the Democratic candidate Vincent Sheheen at a party event.
USINPAC Chairman Mr. Sanjay Puri expressed extreme disappointment at the derogatory remarks made by the Democratic leader against Governor Haley. He said, “The incident is in bad taste and must be avoided in future. Words carry a lot of weight and especially from leaders like Dick Harpootlian. People of South Carolina surely deserve better.”

Congressman Poe urges exports of LNG to India
April 26, 2013; Washington DC US India Political Action Committee (USINPAC) worked with the subcommittee on Terrorism, Non-Proliferation and Trade (TNT) on the issue of export of Liquid Natural Gas (LNG). The Chairman of the subcommittee on Terrorism, Non-Proliferation and Trade (TNT) which is part of the Foreign Relations Committee, Mr. Ted Poe, held a congressional hearing on LNG export on April 25, 2013 in Washington DC. The other Members of Congress that participated at the hearing included Congressmen Brad Sherman, Alan Lowenthal, Randy Weber, Juan Vergas and Joe Wilson. The hearing heard from expert witnesses from Industry, labor and think tanks.
Setting the agenda for the hearing, Congressman Poe acknowledged the significant potential for US LNG exports and laid specific emphasis on exports to India, a key strategic ally. Recognizing that US LNG exports to India and other allies would create US jobs, stimulate the economy, forge strong ties with India and preclude India's dependence on the Iran gas pipeline project; Congressman Poe emphatically questioned "Why are we not exporting LNG to India". He urged the Department of Energy to approve licenses of companies wanting to export LNG to non-FTA countries including India. Congressman Poe's views were endorsed by majority of the speakers who favorably testified about the viability of US LNG exports to allies such as India.
Hailing Congressman Poe's support for US LNG exports to India, USINPAC) Chairman, Mr. Sanjay Puri, said "LNG trade between US and India will enhance India' energy security while spurring the US economy. The deal will be a win-win situation for the two largest democracies in the world and significantly strengthen Indo-US economic and diplomatic ties."

April 19, 2013, Washington DC
US India Political Action Committee (USINPAC) has strongly condemned the recent twin blasts in Boston, the first major terrorist attack on U.S. soil since the tragic events of September 11, 2001.
Expressing distress over the terrorist attack, USINPAC Chairman Sanjay Puri said “We express our deepest condolences to the families of the deceased, and offer our solidarity with those injured in the blasts. While the open nature of American society can never guarantee total security, our law enforcement professionals have done an excellent job in quickly identifying the suspects. I also congratulate the medical services of Boston for having come together so swiftly and saved so many lives. Boston has emerged more united in the face of this attack, just as New York did after 9/11."
Manish Thakur, National Security Advisor to USINPAC said, “These are desperate acts of desperate people who have no place in any civilized society. It reminds us not to lower our guard, and will only strengthen our resolve as Americans.”

April 18, 2013, Washington D.C.: USINPAC (US India Political Action Committee) looks forward to the bipartisan Senate immigration reform proposal by Senators McCain and Schumer. USINPAC has previously supported President Obama’s immigration proposal focusing on innovation and entrepreneurship, which is mirrored in the upcoming proposal as well.
In a press note today President Obama said about the proposal, “It would modernize our legal immigration system so that we’re able to reunite families and attract the highly-skilled entrepreneurs and engineers who will help create good paying jobs and grow our economy.”
USINPAC Chairman Sanjay Puri hoped that the proposal would truly help unite families and attract the best and brightest to America. He expressed concern over the fears voiced by the Indian business community and said, “There is a lot of concern in India and among Indian-Americans that the restrictions proposed on H1B visas in the bill are particularly directed at the business interests of many Indian companies and would have a negative impact on Indo-US trade relations. The business community expects that trade matters should not be confused with immigration and policies should align with the larger US-India strategic agenda. We hope the bill puts the Indian business community’s fears to rest.”
For over a decade now USINPAC has been pushing for immigration reforms that make it easier for families to be united; that incentivize immigrant entrepreneurs to set up businesses in the US and the best and brightest students to stay back in the US and contribute to the economy.
About USINPAC: The US India Political Action Committee (USINPAC) is a bi-partisan non-profit organization and the voice of 3 million Indian-Americans. It works to impact policy on issues of concern to the Indian-American community in the US. USINPAC also provides bipartisan support to candidates for federal, state and local office who support the issues that are important to the Indian-American community.
