Petition text:
On behalf of the over 2 million Indian Americans living in the United States, the US-India Political Action Committee (USINPAC) respectfully requests that the Honorable Dr. Manmohan Singh, Prime Minister of the Republic of India, address a joint session of the 109th Congress during his upcoming July visit. This will be Prime Minister Singh's first official visit to Washington DC, and the first visit of an Indian Prime Minister since September of 2000.
The most recent world leaders who addressed a Joint Session of Congress have been Mexican President Vicente Fox, British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Spanish President José Maria Áznar, Afghan President Hamid Karzai, Interim Iraqi Prime Minister Ayyad Allawi, and Ukrainian President Viktor Yuschenko. The Indian American community feels that Prime Minister Singh should be included in this prestigious list of strong allies of the United States who have had the privilege of addressing a Joint Session of Congress.
