In a condolence letter to Milind Deora, the Congressman from Orange county, said, Deora will not only be missed in India, but as a friend to United States, he will certainly be missed by those who have worked hard to promote US-India relations.
Rocye formed the India Caucus in the Congress and is the Chairman of Foreign Relations Committee.
"Your father lived a remarkable life serving as Mayor of Mumbai, Lok Sabha member and Union minister. Deora dedicated himself to public service making positive impact on the lives of fellow countrymen," Rocye wrote to Milind.
