S Jaishankar Defends CAA Against Joe Biden’s ‘Xenophobia’ Remark

In response to US President Joe Biden’s “xenophobic” statement directed against several Asian nations, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar stated in an interview that India’s culture has always been “open” to individuals from other backgrounds. In support of his argument, the minister stated that the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) of the Central government provides opportunities “for people who are in trouble”. “The Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) was created in order to provide opportunities for those who are struggling. In an interview, he stated, “I believe we should be open to people who have a claim to come to India, who have a need to come to India.”

Joe Biden claimed earlier this week that xenophobia was the reason why the economies of India and other nations were stagnating. Nonetheless, he asserted that the US economy has been performing well. “Why? since foreigners are welcome here. We search for— the cause of— search, consider. Why is China’s economy stalling out so badly? Why is everything in Japan going wrong? Why does Russia exist? For what reason is India? due to their xenophobia. They’re against immigration,” Biden had declared. In the interview, which was made public on Saturday, S Jaishankar stated that the Indian economy was doing well.

“India has always been a really special country… In fact, I would argue that India has always had a highly open society, with people traveling there from all over the world,” the speaker continued. According to S Jaiskankar, the law demonstrates India’s hospitable demeanor.

He was harsh with anybody who criticized CAA. A million Muslims in this country will lose their citizenship as a result of the CAA, according to statements made in public on record. Why aren’t they subject to accountability? He added that no one had lost their citizenship as a result of the bill. Indian citizenship is facilitated for non-Muslim refugees from Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and Pakistan by the CAA. The Opposition has criticized the legislation’s exclusion of Muslims. government is allegedly misrepresenting minorities for political purposes, according to the ruling BJP.

parties, such as Mamata Banerjee, the chief minister of West Bengal, have either pledged to repeal the law or refused to put it into effect. White House stated that President Joe Biden respected all of his partners and supporters after the controversy caused by his comment. The President’s remarks, according to White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre, were a part of a larger message highlighting the strength that comes from America’s immigrant legacy. “Obviously, we have a strong relationship with India with Japan, and the President, if you just look at the last three years, has certainly focused on those diplomatic relationships,” she stated.

Swati Maliwal Assault: Kejriwal and Akhilesh Dismiss Questions; Sanjay Singh Speaks Out | Watch

Chief Minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal and Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav addressed the media together. When Kejriwal brought up the topic of the assault on Swati Maliwal, he handed the microphone to Akhilesh. He stated, “There are more important things than this.” As for the alleged attack on Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal at Kejriwal’s residence by CM’s PA Bibhav Kumar, AAP MP Sanjay Singh has made statements about it thus far. He said he would speak on the matter and then cited Manipur, Prajwal Revanna, and the wrestlers’ protest against former chief wrestler of the Wrestling Federation of India, Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.

“The prime minister said nothing while the wife of a Kargil hero was paraded in Manipur in her undies. PM Modi requested support for Prajwal Revanna, who had raped and molested many women. And the authorities assisted him in his escape. Swati Maliwal went to visit the women wrestlers during their protests at night, and the cops beat her up. Sanjay Singh remarked, “We have seen PM Modi’s silence on Hathras, Kuldeep Sengar. “The Party of Aam Aadmi is a family. The party has already made it clear where it stands on this matter. I want the BJP to respond to all of these questions, especially the incident in which the cops beat up Swati Maliwal. Politics shouldn’t be played over this, according to Sanjay Singh.

The picture of Bibhav Kumar seen at the Lucknow airport with Kejriwal and Sanjay Singh was released by the BJP on Thursday. “This is the image from last night of the Lucknow airport.” Vibhav, the one wearing the black shirt, struck Swati Maliwal. Kejriwal is upset, as is Sanjay Singh, who said that Bibhav has done something really wrong. BJP’s Kapil Mishra commented on X, saying, “The third one is Kejriwal himself, who is accused of getting Swati beaten up.”

Kejriwal Sparks Controversy: ‘Modi Never Ruled Out Retirement at 75,’ Amid ‘Amit Shah for PM’ Claim

Amit Shah will succeed Narendra Modi as prime minister in 2025, when the latter turns 75, according to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who announced this Thursday. The prime minister has never said he will not step down at that age. Despite the disagreements between Amit Shah and some other politicians on Kejriwal’s age and retirement, PM Modi never said he wouldn’t retire at 75, Kejriwal said at a joint press conference with Samajwadi Party chairman Akhilesh Yadav (Lucknow). “Everyone in the nation is confident that Modi won’t deviate from his 75-year retirement age,” Kejriwal stated.

“Amit Shah’s appointment as prime minister is now confirmed. According to him, the BJP has ignored every opponent, including Devendra Fadnavis, Manohar Lal Khattar, Vasundhara Raje, Dr. Raman Singh, and Shivraj Singh Chouhan. The only issue at hand is Yogi Adityanath, who would be ousted in two to three months, according to Kejriwal, who also mentioned that no BJP leader had disputed his remarks against Adityanath, suggesting that Adityanath’s departure was all but certain.

According to Kejriwal, eliminating reservations is the BJP’s “big plan” if they win the election.

During his first rally after leaving Tihar, Kejriwal stated that if he supported the BJP, Amit Shah would become prime minister since, according to party policy, no one over 75 may hold any job. Narendra Modi will turn 75 in 2025. In response to Kejriwal’s assertion, Amit Shah stated that Narendra Modi will serve out his term and continue to head the party well beyond 2029. Amit Shah charged that Kejriwal was fomenting disarray within the party about the leadership, whereas there is none.

He will serve out the remainder of his time as prime minister. The party is not confused,” Amit Shah declared.
