International NGOs Interfere, Set Agendas Globally

Just as Prime Minister Narendra Modi embarked on his second state visit to the US, Cable News Network aired an interview with former US President Barack Obama. In the interview with seasoned host Christiane Amanpour, who has her share of hypocrisies, Obama questioned India’s credentials as a democracy. Ironically, Obama hosted Prime Minister Modi not so long ago during his first state visit to the US. The host could have asked Obama why he did not raise his concerns about democracy while he was in the White House, or asked questions about the US democracy after the 2020 elections and the consequent January 6 US Capitol attack. Sadly, the references to US democracy did not invoke such apprehensions in the former President’s comments.
