US lawmakers Ask Mike Pompeo To Raise Farmers' Protest Issue With India

Indian-American Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal and six other US lawmakers have urged Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to deliberate on the ongoing farmers' protest with India. "Many Indian Americans are directly affected as they have family members, ancestral land in Punjab," they said in their letter to Pompeo, dated December 25. However, External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Anurag Srivastava stated that many of the comments from foreign leaders are  "ill-informed" and "unwarranted".
