Omar Urges Biden To Act On Anti-Muslim Discrimination In India
On Wednesday, U.S. Congresswoman Ilhan Omar pressed one of President Biden’s most senior diplomats about America’s silence on India’s mistreatment of Muslims.
Omar asked Wendy Sherman, deputy secretary of state, how U.S. support for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government is “promoting a free and open region,”
Omar lambasted what she characterized as a reluctance to openly criticize Modi’s government.
She also asked what it would take to criticize the Modi administration’s criminalization of being Muslim in India.
Sherman agreed the administration must stand up “for every religion, every ethnicity, every race, every quality of diversity in this world.”
