Kaushik Kapisthalam reports that two New Hampshire state representatives, Robert Giuda and Saghir Tahir, "use half-truths and misleading statements to excoriate India, a democratic ally of America, in the name of requesting help for Kashmir while simultaneously white washing the acts of anti-American terrorists."
