Two Muslim congresswomen from the US Democratic Party said they wouldn’t be attending PM Modi’s speech because “Modi’s government has repressed religious minorities” ahead of his speech to a joint session of the US Congress. In a sharp response to Ilhan Omar’s tweet, former deputy chairman of the National Commission for Minorities Atif Rasheed stated that you are portraying India incorrectly as part of your hate campaign.
I am a member of an Indian religious minority, yet I live in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s India with my religious freedom and religious identity intact. I have an equal share of all available resources, and I am allowed to express myself freely.
In India, I am free to write whatever I want. I’m sorry to tell that you are misrepresenting My India in order to further your hateful goals. Atif Rasheed continued, “Stop spewing poison out of your mouth.
Because Prime Minister Modi is in the US for a three-day historic state visit, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib have said they will not attend his speech to the joint session of the US Congress. “The government of Prime Minister Modi has persecuted religious minorities, strengthened violent Hindu nationalist organisations, and arbitrarily targeted journalists and human rights activists.
I’m not going to Modi’s speech. To highlight Modi’s history of oppression and violence, I will arrange a briefing with human rights organisations, Ilhan Omar stated.
It is dishonourable that Modi has been granted a platform in the capital of our country; his long history of violating human rights, taking anti-democratic measures, persecuting Muslims and other religious minorities, and censoring journalists is intolerable. Rashida Tlaib declared, “I will abstain from attending Modi’s joint address to Congress.
