#TrumpInIndia: Ahead of the meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, Amnesty International India and @amnestyusa issue a joint statement:

@amnestyusa

@amnestyusa "For decades, the U.S.-India relationship was anchored by claims of shared values of human rights and human dignity. Now, those shared values are discrimination, bigotry, and hostility towards refugees and asylum seekers,” - @MargaretLHuang

@amnestyusa

@amnestyusa @MargaretLHuang “The internet and political lockdown in #Kashmir has lasted for months & the enactment of CAA & the crackdown on protests has shown a leadership that is lacking empathy and a willingness to engage." - @Avinash_1_Kumar

Dear @NH_India this is an UNACCEPTABLE headline! Would Nehruji be happy with this? @NH_India, @INCIndia you must not allow this language . Be critical of #TrumpInIndia but not this way. President Trump is our guest & why are we running down India? #TrumpIndiaVisit !

@INCIndia

I am going to request @INCIndia and @INCIndia volunteers who love the @INCIndia is this language about our country acceptable? If @NH_India allows such language are you okay with it? You need to be honest for the sake of our country & the party we support & vote .

@NH_India

Extremely happy and glad that @NH_India took off the headline after I spoke to many senior @INCIndia leaders who were very very upset. I hope this mistake won't be repeated .

Outside Sabarmati Ashram, kids from a nearby school have been sitting with India and US flags since 8 AM. An exasperated student tells me, "We had to come. Teacher told us to."

A bystander I spoke to wants Modi to be PM for 25-30 years. "If that happens, there won't be any need for Indian leaders to travel abroad. Everyone will come to us. We will have the dollar, they will have rupees," he proclaimed.
