Divya Delhi: Ilhan Omar is a controversial US legislator whose attendance in a meeting with Rahul Gandhi in Washington has sparked a political storm in India. He is an opponent of Israel, a backer of Kamala Harris, and an India-baiter with an uninvited opinion on Kashmir.Even as BJP's Sudhanshu Trivedi emphasized that Omar was at conflict with India's national interests and that Rahul Gandhi's meeting with her had damaged Indians' trust, Union Home Minister Amit Shah attacked Rahul Gandhi for “standing with forces that conspire to divide the country”. Omar traveled to the US on Tuesday with ten other US congressmen to meet with Gandhi.However, who is Ilhan Omar? She represents a Minnesota constituency in the Primary election that was held last month, and she is a devoted Kamala Harris fan. In her previous tenure as a Democratic Congresswoman in 2022, Amara Omar—the first African refugee elected to Congress—moved a resolution critical of India, alleging that the country had violated religious freedom. This happened not long after her visit to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, which India had denounced.Omar has been criticizing her own government for arming Israel and is a fervent opponent of Israel. She said, "It is that simple: if you really wanted a ceasefire, you would just stop sending the weapons," during last month's pro-Palestine sit-in at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago.Omar has also expressed her distaste for Donald Trump. She commented on X, referring to Trump, saying, "He looks sad and miserable," during their presidential debate with Kamala Harris. Omar said last month that Trump had promised to become a tyrant as soon as he is re-elected and that this is why he has to be stopped. Additionally, she said that Trump was spreading "dangerous anti-Muslim lies."
