India has strongly protested to Democrat edolphus towns for making statements in support of Khalistan in the US house of representatives and causing the "propagandistic documents" to be entered into the congressional records.

Deploring his statements made on the floor of the house on January 21, Indian Ambassador Lalit Mansingh in a letter to towns said, "We also protest the patently propagandistic documents of the so- called 'Council of Khalistan' that you have caused to be entered into the record of the house.

"As much as I regard these statements for their patent falsehood, I am equally pained at the fact that the record of a body as August as the US house of representatives continues to be suffused by the inclusion of the trash that is put out by the so-called 'Council of Khalistan.'"

Towns periodically introduced into the house records wild statements by the "President of Khalistan" Gurmeet Singh Aulakh and reinforced them with his own allegations.

In the letter, Mansingh pointed out that he has written to towns in the past offering to meet him and discuss the issues raised by him but he has never replied to any of the letters.

In the latest "message to the Sikhs" issued by Aulakh and introduced by towns in the congressional records, Aulakh said that "The effort to liberate the Sikh homeland, Khalsitan: must continue."

Towns in his speech said that the US has a "moral obligation" to support secessionist movements in India.
