Former US president Barack Obama said Thursday that India risks "pulling apart" if the Muslim minority is not respected, calling for the issue to be raised with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
"If I had a conversation with Prime Minister Modi, who I know well, part of my argument would be that if you do not protect the rights of ethnic minorities in India, there is a strong possibility at some point that India starts pulling apart," Obama said in an interview with CNN.
His comments came as US President Joe Biden welcomed PM Modi and said that believing in the dignity of every citizen is in India's DNA. "We believe in the dignity of every citizen, it's in America's DNA and I believe in India's DNA that a whole world has a stake in our success," Biden said.
