Washington: US President Joe Biden and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized the importance of their countries' relationship.
While Biden briefly mentioned the human rights situation in India, the press conference mainly focused on the strengthening of India-US ties.
Prime Minister Modi defended India’s commitment to religious pluralism.
He rejected any form of discrimination based on caste, creed, religion, or gender.
The activists and progressive lawmakers had urged President Biden to address human rights concerns in India.
In a joint statement, the two leaders called on Pakistan to take action against extremist groups, including Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad, which target New Delhi.
They urged Pakistan to prevent its territory from being used as a Launchpad for terrorist attacks like the 2008 Mumbai attack.
Outside the White House, protestors voiced concerns over India’s treatment of minorities, particularly Muslims.
Activists accused the Indian government of promoting Hindu extremist ideology.
Some US Congress members, including Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, chose to boycott Modi's address to Congress.
