Bravo, Senators and Congress members, for your insightful guidance! I mean, who needs diplomacy and bilateral talks when you have open letters, right?

Let's 'open up' a little about those who love to write letters like these.. #ModiUSVisit2023

Oh, the legendary Pramila Jayapal, renowned for her exquisite anti-India and anti-Hindu bias. Truly a shining example of fair and unbiased representation. We can all aspire to be as open-minded and inclusive as her.

Oh, Jamie Raskin, you're a letterectual too! It is truly inspiring to see him navigate the treacherous waters of conflict-of-interest so effortlessly. Political integrity and transparency at its best.

Tammy Duckworth may have earned herself a shiny medal from the 'Indian American Muslim Council' for supporting a ban on Modi, but her anti-Modi tirade did not garner her any votes..

Bravo to Betty McCollum for her valiant crusade to single-handedly reduce India's religious freedom rating! Let's give her credit for undermining India's reputation based on personal biases and agendas.

#Letterectuals No. 8

Jan Schakowsky, accused of orchestrating political violence, has the gall to write such letters?

Oh, Bonnie Watson Coleman, the world's leading epidemiologist, without a doubt! Her groundbreaking research on India being the 'epicenter' of the COVID pandemic is truly mind-blowing. Move over, WHO, we have a new expert in town!

#Letterectuals No. 10

Suzanne Bonamici, the global cartographer who redraws national boundaries with one tweet is also an esteemed letterectual!

Forget historical context, legalities, or the aspirations of the people themselves. Why bother with those?

#Letterectuals No. 11

Mark Pocan, the master of unfounded accusations and baseless claims!

Then there are those who can spot Islamophobia even in a sneeze!

'Rock-A-Bye Baby' Jerrold Nadler is renowned for dozing off during important proceedings!

#Letterectuals No. 15

Linda Sanchez apparently had a 'unique' interpretation of using taxpayer money for her campaign. However, she's now an expert on moral high ground, writing letters against PM Modi.

A hypocrisy game which is truly unmatched!

#Letterectuals No. 16

No! Bernie Sanders, pro-Pakistan and anti-Indian stance on Kashmir doesn't cloud his judgment at all! The fact that everyone against India is also against Prime Minister Modi is pure coincidence!

indiatoday.in/world/story/de…
#Letterectuals No. 17

Elizabeth Warren, a self-appointed champion of human rights, finds it absolutely essential to comment on the internal affairs of India, particularly Kashmir.

It is likely that she felt similarly compelled to write such letters..

#Letterectuals No. 19

After PM Modi's address to Congress in 2016, Tim Kaine released a statement expressing his concerns about religious tolerance and liberty in India. Of course, his stance has nothing to do with personal biases or being anti-Modi. It's just a pure coincidence… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
#Letterectuals No. 20

Hey Ben Cardin, isn't it amazing how people's concerns for human rights coincide with their anti-India views?

m.economictimes.com/news/politics-…
#Letterectuals No. 21

In the past, Sherrod Brown wrote a letter to PM Modi, full of concern and raised the issue of human rights violations in Kashmir. It's heartwarming to witness his dedication in addressing global issues, one selective letter at a time.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image

Firstly, André Carson made negative comments about India's Citizenship Law, interfering with our internal affairs. Now, he's writing letters against our PM's trip to the USA.

#Letterectuals No. 26

Toney Cardenas actively supported the motion in the White House against India's rightful abrogation of Article 370. Now, he has the audacity to criticize our PM's visit to the USA? How about focusing on your own country's affairs, Mr. Cardenas?… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
#Letterectuals No. 27

A paper once exposed the $48,000 settlement Raúl M. Grijalva's office paid to an employee who complained of frequent drunkenness and a hostile workplace. I wonder if he should instead write letters to the future himself to stop such a toxic workplace… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
#Letterectuals No. 28

Chris Van Hollen, a man of divided loyalties!

Born in Pakistan and known to have a soft spot for the country, it's no surprise that he has a problem with an Indian Prime Minister, and that too PM Modi's visit to the USA.
