Congressman Pete Sessions Denounces Racist Posts, Wishes BAPS Leader Happy Birthday
U.S. Congressman Pete Sessions, representing Texas's 17th Congressional District, has recently been involved in two notable public actions. Sessions, a Republican, publicly denounced racist posts made by fellow Republican Bo French, who targeted Indian-origin students at the University of Texas. Appearing on CNN, Sessions stated that such posts were inappropriate and something he would not condone. In a separate event, Congressman Sessions extended birthday wishes to Mahant Swami Maharaj, the leader of the Bochasanwasi Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS), on his 93rd birthday. Sessions expressed his gratitude for their friendship and highlighted the value he places on Swami Maharaj's wisdom and service to others. This follows a seven-day visit to India earlier in the year by Sessions, which included a tour of the BAPS Yogiji Maharaj Hospital in Shahibaug.
