BJP Tamil Nadu State Secretary Ashvathaman Allimuthu has expressed serious concern over the terminology used by US Ambassador to India, Sergio Gor, which reportedly referred to cooperation as being between “two nations” instead of describing it as cooperation with the State of Tamil Nadu.
In a post on X, Ashvathaman stated, “It is highly inappropriate that @USAmbIndia referred to this as cooperation between ‘two nations’ instead of cooperation with the State of Tamil Nadu. India is one sovereign nation, and official diplomatic communications must reflect that constitutional reality. This is too significant to be dismissed as an inadvertent mistake.”
He further appealed to the Hon’ble External Affairs Minister, Dr. S. Jaishankar, to take note of the matter.
Ashvathaman emphasized that India is one sovereign nation, and that all diplomatic communications by foreign missions must respect India’s constitutional framework and federal structure. He stated that references implying a relationship between “two nations” in the context of an Indian state are inappropriate and should be avoided in official communications.
