Issues Like Bulldozing Slums In Delhi Were Very Much On The Agenda, Said White House

As questions raised whether the bulldozing of slums in the capital city ahead of G20 came between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Joe Biden during their bilateral meeting, White House responded that such issues were very much on agenda.

“What I will say is that the state of democratic governance both in the world and in each of our countries is a core facet of our US-India bilateral relationship. Both PM Modi and President Biden have said that, which means those issues are very much on the agenda in every one of their conversations,” Principal Deputy National Security Advisor Jon Finer said on Saturday.

According to a report by Reuters, authorities have already cleared many slums in Delhi including Janta Camp, and the demolition started approximately four months before the G20 summit.
