Controversy has arisen ever since the release of a BBC documentary on Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Now America has also given its reaction regarding this. On Monday, when a Pakistani journalist questioned about this from US State Department spokesman Ned Price, he stopped the reporter’s speech by referring to ‘democracy’. He replied, “I am not familiar with the narrative of the BBC documentary. However, I am very familiar with the shared values that the US and India have as two thriving and vibrant democracies.”
Addressing a press briefing, Price said on Monday (local time) that there are many things that strengthen America’s global strategic partnership with India, including political, economic and people-to-people ties that are exceptionally deep. .
Indo-US ties deepen
During this, Ned Price outlined the diplomatic relations between the US and India, and while describing India’s democracy as a vibrant one, he said that we look at everything that binds us together, and we try to strengthen all those elements. Look forward to what binds us together. He also emphasized the fact that the partnership that the US shares with India runs exceptionally deep and that the two nations share values that are common to American democracy and Indian democracy.
