Washington, June 22, 2023 (PPI-OT): In what termed by the Agency France-Press, the French international news agency, “a gentle nudge”, President Joe Biden on Thursday called religious freedom a “core principle” for India and the United States, as he welcomed India’s Hindu nationalist prime minister, Narenda Modi.
Modi has faced criticism over the rights of religious minorities in India, with rights groups alleging a blind eye to vigilante violence against Muslims and Christians, the AFP mentioned. “Equity under the law, freedom of expression, religious pluralism and diversity of our people – these core principles have endured and evolve,” Biden said at a ceremonial welcome to Modi at the White House.
