@sachinnayal you have it mixed up. Yes there's an Islamic lobby and they provide support to the candidate/politician that aligns with their goals. But politicians there still have their own agency/exercise their own ideology. The question we should be asking is why isn't there an Indian lobby? Who is lobbying Rep Jaypal, Ro Khanna, etc.? Politics is a game of gaining influence, lobby helps the politicians with campaigns and politicians pay back with pro lobby policies. Certain things are beyond lobbying - one such thing is National interest. CAATSA waiver falls into that basket.
