India

Dr. Manmohan Singh
Via
Ambassador Sen
2107 Massachusetts Avenue, NW
Washington, Dc 20008

Dear Prime Minister Singh:

Today, we are all people of India.

As a close friend and strong supporter, let me extend my sincere condolences t you and the people of India, especially the families of the victims, in the wake of the Mumbai attacks.

The attacks against civilians at multiple locations throughout Mumbai are criminal acts, and it is my sincere hope that an investigation will quickly identify all the perpetrators and bring them to justice. Following The Rule of Law is how India can show the world the real strength of Democracy. I can attest that the U.S. already has offered the services of the FBI to assist in its ongoing investigation, and I pledge my personal support in any way that I can.

India has been exemplary in its commitment to freedom and tolerance, and I urge India to remain calm during this difficult period, and let the evidence uncovered during the investigation lead to those responsible. Tragedy has united the world and its nations will help India heal these wounds.

On behalf of my colleagues in the Congressional Caucus on India and Indian Americans, my constituents, and the American people, our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Sincerely,

Jim McDermott
Co-Chair, Congressional Caucus on India and Indian Americans
Member of Congress
