CHATWAL 2 LST

In the run up to the 2008 US Presidential elections,
Chatwal had raised millions of dollars for Hillary Clinton
during the primaries, and also made political contributions to
the campaign of Vice President Joe Biden, as well as top
Democratic Senator Christopher Dodd, who is now Co-Chair of
the Senate India Caucus.

"To all these leading Democrats and presidential
candidates, I gave my personal checks and none of them were
returned by any of them," Chatwal said.
He said donations which are governed by strict rules and
regulations by the Federal Election Commission and ethics
rules of the US Congress would have been returned if there had
been any "blemish" against him or if his contributions were
considered "tainted".
"If that was case, how come I was invited for all the
events President Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary
(of State) Hillary Clinton hosted for the Prime Minister (Dr
Singh during his State visit in November)," he said.
Chatwal said, he has met Obama several times after he
became the President.
"Every time we meet, we discuss Indo-US relationship. He
wants to further deepen and strengthen the relationship
between the two countries," he said. PTI LKJ
