The US District Court in Baltimore sentenced Lalit H Gadhia, a naturalised US citizen of Indian origin, to three months imprisonment. Gadhia had confessed that he worked as a conduit between the Indian Embassy and various Indian-
"American organisations for funnelling campaign contributions to influence US lawmakers. Over $46,000 from the Indian Embassy was distributed among 20 Congressional candidates. The source of the cash used by Gadhia was Devendra Singh, a RAW official assigned to the Indian Embassy in Washington. Illicit campaign money received in 1995 went to Democratic candidates including Sens. Charles S. Robb (D-Va.), Paul S. Sarbanes (D -Md.) and Reps. Benjamin L. Cardin (D-Md.) and Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.)." What do you call this? This is not the only source. The story was originally reported in the Baltimore Sun, which reprinted the delivery slip Devendra Singh of the Embassy used to ship money to Lalit Gadhia for these illegal contributions. Rep. Dan Burton (R-Ind.) talked about it on the House floor.

Hoyer (D-Md.).So these allegations are your proof? And if this is true, then what are we supposed to do, throw our collective hat completely behind Pakistan, and a government that is unstable at best?
I still cannot accept these as gospel, even though I would love to see Chuck Robb and Paul Sarbanes both twist in the wind a bit while they try to explain away something awry. I need something more substantive than this, however.
So what do we do about the Israel lobby, in which case lawmakers proudly accept money from the Jewish lobby.
