India’s Modi targets neighbors at UN, but not by name

Associated Press  

NEW YORK — Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi didn’t directly mention Pakistan or China in his Saturday speech to the United Nations General Assembly, but the targets of his address were clear. Modi’s speech came a day after the prime minister met one-on-one with President Joe Biden and participated in a summit of “the Quad”: the U.S., Japan, India and Australia. Earlier in his speech, Modi referenced India’s global influence by underscoring that “every sixth person in the world is Indian.” “When India grows, the world grows. This is the best example of a vibrant democracy.” Less than an hour after Modi’s speech concluded, a coalition of groups outside the United Nations building protested what organizers described as “the Modi government’s assault on human rights, secular democracy, and persecution of religious minorities, Dalits, and farmers in India.” ___ Associated Press reporter Krutika Pathi contributed from New Delhi.
