‘Take Gyanesh Kumar to America, keep him there’: Pawan Khera’s response to Trump’s post
Congress leader Pawan Khera posted so on X after Donald Trump, who, in a post on Truth Social, advocated for the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act
On Tuesday, August 18, 2026, Senior Congress leader Pawan Khera responded sarcastically to a post by U.S. President Donald Trump, which criticized India's election system. Khera urged Trump to take Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) to America. "Please take Gyanesh Kumar Gupta to America.
And keep him there. We will send our EVMs too by the next available flight," he posted on X. Khera's comment came after Trump's post on Truth Social, advocating for the passage of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which would require citizens to show proof of citizenship to register to vote and impose a nationwide voter identification requirement.
The SAVE Act also limits voting by mail. Khera's sarcastic comment came in response to Trump's concern about the lack of a valid photo ID for voting in the U.S., a concern he attributed to India's Chief Election Commissioner.
