Barrack Obama:Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has attacked Barrack Obama’s remark in which the former US president said India might pull apart.
Mr Singh while addressing a meeting in Jammu said, “Obama ji should not forget that India is the only country which considers all the people living in the world as family members… He should also think about himself as to how many Muslim countries he has attacked.”
Barrack Obama said, “India may start ‘pulling apart’ if its government does not protect the rights of ethnic minorities.” The former president also said that if a US president meets PM Modi then “the protection of Muslim minority in a Hindu-majority India” needs mentioning. Obama was speaking to Christine Amanpour of CNN in Athens.
Mr Modi was visiting the United States when Barrack Obama made these remarks.
