India angry at Ilhan Omar's visit to Pakistan: Biden admin distances itself

India's Ministry of External Affairs spokesman Arindam Bagchi blasted leftist Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) over an unsanctioned visit she made to Pakistan Occupied Kashmir this week, referring to her trip as "condemnable." [H/T New York Post]

“We have noted that she has visited a part of Indian Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir that is currently illegally occupied by Pakistan,” Bagchi said of the anti-Semitic, anti-American woman, during a Wednesday press conference. “Let me just say that if such a politician wishes to practice her narrow-minded politics at home … that may be her business. But violating our territorial integrity and sovereignty in its pursuit makes it ours; and we think this visit is condemnable.”

India gained their independence from Britain in 1947. Since then, India and Pakistan have fought three wars and several smaller armed conflicts over Kashmir, none of which have proven decisive, although most of the region is governed by India. Pakistan and China control the remaining territory.

Omar, who married her own brother, met with Pakistan's Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Hina Rabbani Khar at the office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Islamabad, Pakistan on April 20th. Earlier that day she visited the Pakistan side of the cease-fire line in the region, aka the Line of Control, where she stuck her nose in to tell reporters that her colleagues should pay more attention to the India-Pakistan conflict. 

As a representative of the United States government, [which she intended to be or not] this should tell you that she had no business getting involved in the affairs of foreign countries.

“I don’t believe that it is being talked about to the extent it needs to be in Congress and within the administration,” the Muslima said, according to Reuters. 

The Somali-born Omar then added that the House Foreign Relations Committee, on which she sits, would look into allegations of human rights violations by Indian authorities in the region, according to the Express Tribune newspaper.

What is she talking about? Why on earth would/should the US Congress look into allegations made by a country hostile to the country to which they made allegations?

It sounds very much like Omar is on the side of the Islamic country as opposed to the Hindu country.

Omar's office didn't respond to The Post's request for comment about India's condemnation of her behavior.

Omar’s visit to Pakistan is the first by a member of Congress since a new coalition government came into power in Islamabad last week, and she wasn't even asked to get involved.

The real question is: who paid for her trip?

My guess is that it rhymes with Ruslim Drutherhood.
