Hours after G-20 leaders adopted the Delhi Declaration by consensus on Saturday, Congress leaders targeted the Narendra Modi government over certain paragraphs in the formulation.
“Here’s yet another example of the staggering hypocrisy of the self-styled Vishwaguru. At the global level, in the G20 declaration para 78, he commits to respecting religious and cultural diversity and promoting dialogue and tolerance. At home in India, he refuses to act on ethnic violence in Manipur nor has he visited the state,” Congress’ communication chief Jairam Ramesh said in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday.
“He remains silent on hate speech, lynchings, targeted killings, and attacks on holy places. His party and the larger ecosystem he belongs to, has unleashed systematic polarisation campaigns in states like Haryana and Uttarakhand, and has torn apart the social fabric of the nation,” Mr. Ramesh added.
