Congressional leaders Kapil Sibal and Jaiveer Shergill on Friday investigated the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government led by Narendra Modi over US President Donald Trump’s comment that “India’s air is dirty “and linked the outbreak to the” Howdy Modi “event that took place in Houston, Texas, on September 22, 2019.
The “Howdy Modi” event was attended by some 50,000 people of Indian origin from across the United States. In addition to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Trump had also addressed the meeting.
“Fruits of friendship. 1) Question the death toll from India’s coronavirus disease (Covid-19). 2) It says that India throws dirt into the air. The ‘air of India is dirty’. 3) Named India ‘tariff king’. The result of ‘Howdy Modi’! “Sibal tweeted.
Earlier, during the final presidential debate with his Democratic challenger Joe Biden in Nashville, Tennessee, on Thursday night, Trump accused China, India and Russia of failing to guard their “dirty air,” while justifying the United States’ withdrawal from the Paris “unfair” climate. agreement, which was signed in 2016.
“Look at China, how disgusting it is. Look at Russia. Look at India, it’s dirty. The air is dirty, ”Trump said during the presidential debate.
Shergill also criticized the government for not responding to Trump’s accusation.
“The foreign policy trump card of the BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) is to boast of Modi-Trump friendship and President Trump’s electoral card appears to be berating India. Not naming China when trespassing and not responding to Trump when he labels India’s air as ‘dirty’ is the BJP’s version of nationalism !! Howdy pricks 56 inches (from Modi’s chest), ”the congressional spokesperson tweeted.
