Gautam Adani, Indian industrialist.
Washington: An Indian-American lawmaker has challenged the Biden administration’s decision to investigate the activities of Indian billionaire Gautam Adani in the US. An influential Republican lawmaker has said such selective actions could damage important alliances with key partners. Congressman Lance Gooden, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, asked in a strongly worded letter to US Attorney General Merrick B. Garland what the US would do if India refuses to comply with the extradition request.
Gooden also sought answers about ‘selective prosecution’ against foreign entities by the Justice Department. He also asked about the potential damage such actions could do to America’s global alliances and economic growth. He also asked in the letter whether it had any connection with George Soros. “The Justice Department’s ‘selective actions’ threaten to damage vital alliances with key partners like India, one of the United States’ strongest allies in the Asia-Pacific region,” Gooden wrote in his letter dated January 7.
Punish bad people in America instead of paying attention to rumors
“Instead of pursuing cases with weak jurisdiction and limited relevance to US interests, the Justice Department should focus on punishing bad guys domestically, rather than chasing rumors abroad,” the lawmaker said. The five-time Republican lawmaker said targeting companies that invest billions of dollars and create thousands of jobs for Americans only hurts America in the long run. He said, “When we ignore the real threats posed by violent crime, economic espionage and CCP influence and attack those who contribute to our economic growth, it discourages valuable new investors who are Looking forward to investing in our country.”
America may suffer losses
“The unwelcoming and politically charged environment for investors will only hinder efforts to revive America’s industrial base and economic growth, and directly undermines President Trump’s commitment to revive the economy with increased investment,” Gooden said. Will weaken.” “As the timing of these decisions coincides with the end of the Biden administration, it raises concerns that the only true goal here is to cause disruption for President Trump,” he said.
Gooden said this in the letter two weeks before the inauguration of Donald Trump as the 47th President of the United States on January 20. He said, “I am writing to inquire about the recent selective prosecution of cases against foreign entities by the Department of Justice (DOJ). “This could irreparably strain America’s global alliances.” (Language)
