Two to boycott Modi’s speech, 75 Democrats in US Congress urge Biden to raise rights issues in talks with him
The Biden Administration has been conveying to the Modi Government its concerns over the perception in the US about the backsliding of democracy in India.
It’s shameful that Modi has been given a platform at our nation’s capital—his long history of human rights abuses, anti-democratic actions, targeting Muslims & religious minorities, and censoring journalists is unacceptable.
I will be boycotting Modi’s joint address to Congress.
