Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has caused a stir on Twitter for saying that India has many “Hussain Obama” (sic) to be taken care of in response to a question of whether the Assam Police would arrest former U.S. President Barack Obama.
The tweet comes a day after Mr. Obama said that India may “pull apart” if the rights of the religious and ethnic minorities are not upheld. “If the [U.S.] President meets with Prime Minister Modi, then the protection of the Muslim minority in a Hindu majority India is worth mentioning. If I had a conversation with Prime Minister Modi, who I know well, part of my argument would be that if you don’t protect the rights of ethnic minorities in India, there is a strong possibility that India would at some point start pulling apart,” Mr. Obama told CNN ahead of the Modi-Biden meeting in Washington.
