BIDEN KEEPS OUT FROM HIS ADMINISTRATION TWO DEMOCRATS FOR THEIR BJP-RSS LINKS

Sat 23 January 2021:

US President Joe Biden has nominated around 20 Indian-Americans, including 13 women, to key positions in his administration. However, the list has excluded some Indian-Americans who had worked on the Biden campaign, allegedly due to their RSS-BJP links.

According to a report in The Tribune, Sonal Shah and Amit Jani have not made to Biden’s list of nominated Indian-Americans to be appointed in his administration. They have been excluded allegedly due to their links with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Their links with far-right Hindutva organisations have been brought into the limelight by over a dozen Indian-American organisations.

Sonal Shah’s father, who has served on Biden’s unity task force, was the president of Overseas Friends of BJP-USA and is the founder of RSS-run Ekal Vidyalaya. Shah has reportedly raised funds for Ekal Vidyalaya, according to the report.

Jani was the ‘Muslim Outreach’ coordinator of ‘Name Biden’ campaign. His family reportedly has ties with PM Modi and other BJP leaders.
