Prime Minister Narendra Modi is meeting with Joe Biden today on his visit to America. An activist working for human rights has written a letter to President Joe Biden demanding that he publicly raise the issue of declining human rights in India.
In a press conference on Wednesday, these activists and academics said that the US government has failed to raise the issue of human rights abuses in India personally with PM Modi. So now Joe Biden should openly raise this issue in public.
President of International Religious Freedom Nadine Maenza said we could not ignore the ground reality. We cannot avert our eyes, nor can the US government avert its eyes. There is very little freedom of the press in India, the rights of minorities have been limited, and the level of democratic rights is also falling.
The way these human rights organizations have said on behalf of India that the government’s policies are made keeping in mind the people of all communities, in which the law of the right to equality is taken care of.
According to the report, the White House may raise this issue, but Joe Biden will not give any speech to PM Modi. Zaki Barzinji, Administrator for Religious Minorities during Barack Obama’s tenure, said, We know this administration and the Congress is fully aware of the situation in India.
Human rights abuses have reached a large scale in India, and Biden should raise this issue publicly. In Congress, two women Muslim MPs, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, have announced the boycott of PM Modi’s address to the typical house. US lawmaker Bernie Sanders said Modi’s aggressive approach to Hindu nationalism had left little room for religious minorities in India.
Let us inform you that after becoming the PM of India in 2014, India has reached 140th position in the World Press Freedom rankings. Earlier, it was at 161st position. Please tell that PM Modi is participating in dinner with Joe Biden today.
