"There are steps that we can take to support the rights of all people in South Asia. It is time that we take these steps. They include cutting off our aid and trade with India and putting the US Congress on record in support of self-determination for the Sikhs of Punjab, Khalistan, the Christian people of Nagaland, the Kashmiris, and all the people of South Asia, who are seeking freedom. Only by exercising their right to self-determination, which is the essence of democracy, can the people there finally live in freedom, peace, and prosperity."
