Clinton meets victims of 26/11 attacks
Mumbai, July 18 (PTI) "I am happy to see you all," US
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Saturday told staffers of
the Taj and Oberoi hotels who had survived the 26/11 terror
attacks and risked their lives to save the guests.
Clinton, who is staying at the Tower Wing of the Taj
Hotel to express solidarity with the victims of the Mumbai
terror attack on November 26 last, began her day by signing
the remembrance book for victims of the terror strike.
Meeting with some staffers of the Taj and Oberoi
hotels, Clinton said she was "deeply touched" to meet them.
The terror strikes had left 183 people dead. Among the
22 foreigners killed were five Americans.
The group was led by general manager Karambir Kang,
who lost his wife and two sons in the terror strike.
The secretary of state's office had earlier said that
Clinton wanted to applaud the heroism of the staff, many of
whom stood in the line of fire to save their guests.
Clinton, who arrived here Friday night on a five-day
visit to India, said it "was a great honour to be back in
India, a country that has a deep impact on my thinking".
She also said that she was happy to return to Mumbai,
a city she loves.

US daily asks Clinton to address outstanding issues with India
Washington, Jul 18 (PTI) With US Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton in India to deepen the strategic partnership
with it, a leading American daily Saturday said it is time for
her to address some of the issues, including pending defence
agreements, with New Delhi.
In a lead editorial, The Boston Globe said, "India
presents both the most promising and the most challenging test
case for cooperative relations with the emerging powers of the
21st century."
The US-India nuclear deal negotiated by the Bush
administration has provoked anxieties in some quarters about a
dangerous precedent for nuclear proliferation, but the deal
has indisputably cleared the way for a closer relationship
between Washington and New Delhi, the newspaper said.
Now that the nuclear accord is a done deal and the
Congress party has come back to power with bigger margin, it
said, Clinton can address other outstanding issues in
US-Indian relations.
"These include pending defence agreements between the
two nations' militaries, cooperation in the fight against
terrorism, more educational exchanges, more US visas for
Indians with advanced skills, and, perhaps most important of
all, a meeting of minds on the need for coordinated actions to
reduce the danger of catastrophic climate change," the daily
said.
The newspaper said when it comes to regional issues,
Clinton should make the case that the expanding US-Indian
relationship gives Indian leaders more strategic flexibility.
It urged Clinton to convince New Delhi to stop trying
to match their Chinese counterparts in backing regimes such as
those in Myanmar and Sri Lanka, which according to the paper
have committed human rights abuses against their own people.
"If a shared respect for democratic values forms the
foundation for the burgeoning US-India partnership, Indian
leaders should be able to heed any such counsel from Clinton.
She could tell her Indian interlocutors that friends don't let
friends become the enablers of abusive neighbours," it said.
