Former US president Barack Obama on Thursday (June 22) said that India risks “pulling apart” if the Muslim minority is not respected, calling for the issue to be raised with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

He made these remarks in an interview to the CNN just hours before a joint press statement by US President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Modi. Obama said that Biden should mention the issue of “protection of Muslim minorities” in India during his talks with Modi. He said if he had an opportunity to converse with Modi he would discuss the rights of ethnic minorities in India and what would happen if their rights were not protected.

“If I had a conversation with Mr Modi – who I know well – part of my argument would be that if you do not protect the rights of ethnic minorities in India, then there is a strong possibility India at some point starts pulling apart. And we have seen what happens when you start getting those kinds of large internal conflicts. That would be contrary to the interests of India,” he said.

“The protection of the Muslim minority in a majority Hindu India – that’s something worth mentioning,” said the former president. He also said that addressing human rights with allies was always “complicated”.

Not mere coincidence: Congress

Meanwhile, back home in India, Obama’s remarks have sparked a controversy, with Congress MP Manish Tewari not seeing it as a mere coincidence when Prime Minister Narendra Modi is on a state visit to the United States at the invitation of President Joe Biden. Tewari highlighted the strong bond between Biden and Obama, suggesting that the former president made the remarks on Biden’s behalf.

Reacting to Obama’s comments, Tewari tweeted, “I would be surprised if Former President Barack Obama’s comments were just coincidental. Joe Biden was Barack Obama’s Vice President for eight long years. Barack Obama continues to be his biggest supporter. It is Tweedlum & Tweedlee. Get someone equally influential to say it.”

Congress’ national spokesperson Supriya Shrinate also shared the clipping of Obama’s interview on Twitter, saying, “Watch this video from 2.36 mins – There’s a message Mr Modi’s friend ‘Barack’ has for him. Guess he’s also a part of an international conspiracy against Mr Modi? At least that’s what the bhakts would allege!”

Major Gobar with the whataboutism.

The difference here is those airstrikes(right or wrong) weren't carried out b/c the people were muslims, but b/c of a counter insurgency operation. It a bit different from Pajeets holding pogroms and assaulting people and destroying mosques with state backing, or burning down churches in manipur.

Minorities should be protected everywhere. No questions asked.

There was this Shah Rukh Khan movie, in which his character goes to the US President (surprisingly, Obama’s character) and says, “My name is Khan and I’m not a terrorist!”

I guess Obama just saw that movie yesterday and felt bad about it, so he made this ‘retaliatory’ statement.

Nonetheless, minorities should be protected everywhere.

Modi will continue and further extend his anti-Muslim antics as the elections are near. This is BJP's prime refuge to compensate for their poor economic records and get voted again by the low-IQ pajeets.

Reselling Russian oil to the rest of the world has generated increasing exports and GDP growth on paper but living standard of pajeetland remains low. Ambanis are raking in billions with their refineries while average pajeets still have low-calorie two meals a day before taking a dump on the railway track.

Pajeets claim to have a per capita income on par with Bangladesh but their consumption is around half the level of Bangladeshis.

Per capita revenues from laptop sales
Bangladesh - US$8.36
India - US$4.20

Per capita revenues from television sales
Bangladesh - US$2.69
India - US$1.86

Per capita revenues from smartphone sales
Bangladesh - US$34.58
India - US$29.39

Per capita revenues from refrigerator sales
Bangladesh - US$57.32
India - US$48.86

Even a rickshaw puller in Bangladesh lives a better life than a so-called middle-class pajeet lol

It isn’t about modi it is a Geo strategic game .. China is rising super fast and it badly needs india to counter weight them ..


Most cow pee supporters in this forum forgot that US refused to give him a visa 15 years ago for his role in massacring the Muslims in gujrat . The US knows what kind of asshole modi is , but strategic interest trumps everything.

People forget Gen Ayuob who seized power was given a ticker tate parade in US , Kennedy received him at the airport etc it is the same. the US needed a strong anti communist ally and Pakistan was available.

like wise india is available.

 

[Redbeanpaste]

My guess is the statement was orchestrated as a sop to the more woke left of the democratic party and the freedom caucus folks.

They didn't want anyone with any official role in the government to say anything so they pulled out and dusted the former president to keep those two ends of the American political spectrum happy.

It doesn't actually change the US position in any way.

This doesn't make any sense. Last year India sold 170 million smart phones at $224 average and Bango land sold 8 million at $84 average.

Here is the picture for 2019.

India bought 7 million iphones last year. That should be enough to beat out the percapita figures.

There is no way Bangladesh buys more laptops than India. India has so many IT companies and all of them provide laptops to the employees, sometimes multiple. Seems like somewhere something is amiss.

Never challenge such statistics, you will be swamped with more. Just agree that Hindu India is weak and is going to explode, about this evening or maybe night.

Of course, credible sites like Statista wouldn't make sense to you subhuman indi-apes. lol

lol dumb dhoti, stop quoting your godi media. Your ashram-chhap journalists are misquoting figures and claiming exports as poojeet consumption.

Here's a bonus, even desktop pc sales in India is lower than Bangladesh lol
Bangladesh - US$1.14
India - US$1.11

Now stop barking like a dog who has forgotten his aukat. Nobody is interested in your sanghi fake news, they are only targeted at you low-IQ ashram-chhap chaddi brigade. lol
