US President George Bush likely to visit India next January – Hilary will continue the relationship after 2008
America and India is busy making the bilateral relations ripe enough to allow US President George Bush visit India. India and US is coming closer to each other than ever. Interestingly a red carpet treatment to Hilary Clinton in New Delhi last year made sure the relations are carried through by the Administration after 2008 if democrats are elected.
According media reports, an informal invitation has already been extended to him by Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh, who will be making a formal request to him for the visit during his upcoming U.S. trip next month, sources in the Prime Minister's Office disclosed.
During their recent encounter in Moscow, it was Mrs Bush who broached the subject of visiting Delhi with Dr Manmohan Singh and Bush jumped over the idea suggesting that he would love to be in India after the X-mas holidays.
Dr Manmohan Singh told them that January is the month of celebration of India as a Republic but stopped short of inviting Bush for the Republic Day Parade as that may not sink well with others in the Congress who do not want the government to be even remotely seen as pro-America. He just said it would be good if they can make it in the first or second week of January.
Bush turned to his wife and told her that Dr Manmohan Singh heads a good democracy in a country that has a very large Muslim population. One standing close to eavesdrop the conversation quotes Bush adding that "all Muslims are not Osama bin Laden" and so Mrs Bush should not have any fears in travelling to India.
