What did Obama Say?
Throughout an interview with CNN on twenty second June, which occurred on the time when PM Modi was holding bilateral talks with US President Joe Biden, former US president Barak Obama stated that “if the US president meets with PM Modi then the safety of the Muslim minority in a Hindu minority India is price mentioning”.
Obama stated that “If I had a dialog with PM Modi, who I do know effectively, part of my argument can be that if you don’t defend the rights of ethnic minorities in India, then there’s a robust chance that India in some unspecified time in the future begins to tug aside”.
It’s price mentioning that underneath his presidency as effectively, in January 2015, throughout his speech in Delhi, Obama expressed his views on freedom of faith in each nations.
