External affairs minister S Jaishankar on Saturday countered US President Joe Biden’s description of India as “xenophobic” by saying the country is one of the most open, pluralistic and understanding nations of the world. Addressing an Asian-American audience at a campaign fundraiser on Wednesday, Biden had sought to link the economic issues of India and Japan to a “xenophobic” outlook that included not welcoming immigrants. He had also caused surprise by grouping India and Japan – both key partners of the US – with Russia and China. #sjaishankar #xenophobicremark #joebiden #news18 #englishnews
