New Delhi — Former Union Minister and Member of Parliament from Hamirpur, Shri Anurag Singh Thakur, emphasized the strategic importance of India–US relations and the need for a united front against global terrorism at the US–India Strategic Partnership Forum held in New Delhi today.
The event was attended by prominent leaders including Congress MP Rajeev Shukla, BJP MP Jay Panda, RPN Singh, and Vijay Chauthaiwale.
🤝 Strengthening Bilateral Ties Under PM Modi’s Leadership
Thakur highlighted India’s proactive efforts under Prime Minister Narendra Modi to deepen bilateral ties with the United States. “India has consistently valued its relationship with the US and taken active steps to strengthen it. In today’s evolving global order, isolation is not an option. Our partnership is not just for mutual benefit but for the greater global good,” he said.
🛡️ United Against Terrorism: From 9/11 to 26/11
Drawing parallels between the 9/11 attacks in the US and the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, Thakur stressed the shared trauma and the need for a collective strategy. “India and the US have both suffered at the hands of terrorism. Our pain is shared, and so must be our resolve. We need global consensus and joint leadership to combat this threat,” he asserted.
He also referenced the Pulwama attack in Jammu & Kashmir, attributing its orchestration to Pakistan. “India’s response through Operation Sindoor was measured, precise, and powerful — a clear message to the world that this is our new normal in the fight against terrorism,” Thakur added.
⚡ Energy Collaboration: A Vision for the Future
Looking ahead, Thakur expressed optimism about expanding energy cooperation with the US. “India is launching an ambitious clean energy campaign to scale capacity from 250 GW to 550 GW in the next five years. We hope for deeper US participation in our energy security goals,” he said.
He also revealed India’s plans to increase nuclear energy production tenfold over the next two decades. “Together, India and the US can set new milestones — for science, for humanity, and for the future,” Thakur concluded.
