Trump, Modi And Controversy

Alright, this is a new episode of the truth, I am free, the sorcerer and we are talking about the great wizard Trump in India for only 2 days, but there is so much fuss about it that a new wall has been built in Amitha. bathroom and we know that Trump likes a good wall and we understand that the city of Ahmedabad is spending between Rs 80 million and a hundred million on a three-hour visit what is the buzz about why these trips are important for we as a country and are We are spending too much money to help us understand what is really going on.

Senior journalist TJ Chaudhary joins me in the studio, but Shaadi, thank you so much for spending time on the truth and I know you've been watching all of this for a long time. rumors around Trump do you think it's too much money is it too much exaggeration? Could you explain to us why as a country at this time we need a visit like this? Well, if you looked at the mutation that Prime Minister Modi gave to President Donald Trump. from the United States to come visit them didn't work out earlier, so they asked him to come for the Republic Day celebrations which they rejected now it suits them in a sense.

I see it as part of the beginning of his own electoral campaign and the American campaign. The Indian community is quite powerful in several states of the United States, so you may think it is a good time to visit India to accept from Mr. Modi's invitation and sending a clear signal transcends a clear signal at home to these Indian Americans or American Indians, whatever you want, real Indian Americans who by and large have not voted for their party in the past, so I think I can see from Where do you come from. but where are we going?

Where we go? I tell you what can be right or wrong to spend so much money, of course, Donald Trump has said it. Prime Minister Modi said millions of people will do so. Yes, I mean your mental numbers make this statement four times now. way to his own media where he said that Prime Minister Modi has promised me that 7 million people would line the streets of Ahmedabad from the airport to the stadium location, now seven million is seventy lands, which is the population o everyone, so I mean you. I know if we should no longer take Trump seriously given the kind of things he says, but it seems more like a Lally than some kind of royal visit, well this would mean that the millions of people present put pressure on the Government of India. government of Gujarat to, but you know, mobilize numbers, which I am sure they are doing by clearing the city walls, they are going up or down, we don't know ultimately where they will be in a powerful six foot grass to hide the marginal areas of Por Of course, there is an unwanted benefit for the people if you clean the city, if you organize things that were not done before, what happens when a VIP arrives, but that part does, spending hundreds of millions of rupees and what without doubt we should ask.

What will be the benefit because this trade agreement is not being carried out? That's pretty good it's very complicated yes it is so you know it's stuck in medical equipment in dairy and you say if I do it for a second just explain to our audience what this is so India used to be part of a trade deal with the US that was for a group of developing countries where we were allowed to export some of our stuff but we weren't going to get all of their stuff in return Donald Trump and his team kicked us out of that deal on last year and our Foreign Office has been trying very hard for the last year to get back to some level, but we have not reached an agreement and Trump actually made a statement saying that You are not treating us very well in that agreement, suggesting that we won't close it on this trip, so that brings us back to what you were saying, he said, you know, you say two words to the effect that I hope that's the case.

This will happen in the future, which means it will happen before my election, so if there is something more important going on, but we will tell you later, therefore, what I think we know, the trade agreement that would have given us an economic benefit, is not happening, therefore. Why do we openly welcome you? I am wrong to say that he is the president of the United States. I think it may be because we face a lot of criticism about CA. YES on what the government has done in Jammu and Kashmir, the repeal of the article. 370 and there have been many voices, whether in the media, where is this Foreign Relations Committee, that Congressional committee, etc., etc.?

European Parliament yes, yes, that is correct, so the Western world has been critical of what has been done, therefore, if someone like Donald Trump arrives it will be seen as a great endorsement of what the government has done, so these small committees may not matter and that is the kind of perception battle that I think the government is trying to fight and, of course, mr. Modi is given to doing big things Holi Modi and now you know, Trump got shorter, but apparently we have also bought $2.4 billion worth of helicopters from the US for our Navy. on this trip, okay, is this normal because or is this something that happens on trips like this?

Do you know what I find in general? What we have done is not only now but in the past and we did not negotiate so hard on economic issues either. economic benefits that will benefit our people or technology transfer of the time that we should look for, I am not talking about the damn technologies, where is the West? We are going to look for some kind of declaration on Kashmir, much more the immediate political benefit. and I think this trip is also part of that trend. You know, we are looking for endorsements on the steps that the Indian government is taking, particularly from the Western world, and you have not been able to go all the way.

As far as the trade agreement is concerned, they think we are negotiating a lot on prices or other issues related to dairy products. You know, but let's see what it means. Well, you want to ask yourself this now that we both have a good level of experience with India. The media and the way the media goes completely crazy with events like this is also likely to overshadow everything else that is happening in the country for the next few days, where people will only talk about what

trump

et and what he did and where it went and you know if they shook hands, what they didn't shake hands and what the body language was.

Well, he says there is no issue about what is happening in our country. Well, that's a fact, we can wait for everything else to be done. subsumed make this visit until it happens and of course we all love tamasha as we all don't love hunkies and you know we like performances of this guy we all like them and India more than other countries , so mr. Moody plays with that and Donald Trump is also going to play with that, even with his high political interests in his own country, well, if I may ask a question on a topic a little adjacent to this, which is the topic of, for example, Shahin bog and something like that. the mini glitter boxes appearing all over the country, we have Hyderabad and Kolkata I Mumbai and you know Chennai in the last place, Lucknow, where now there are women in the sessions, Muslim women in the sessions, obviously a win can go and come, but this has been shown to him.

You more or less know that there is a certain capacity here that perhaps no one expected. There was also talk that after the elections in Delhi are over, because this is all political, everything will disappear, but do you think that while this is tamasha of a big visit from Trump? will come and go Scheinberg's message is now global. I think Cheyenne Bog has been watched with great interest. I'm all over India, of course, as you say, there have been several presentations and women have Muslim women, in particular, of course, young people have stayed away. them, but I haven't seen them, you know, the Muslim women will come out like they have sitting there week after week with their children and you can call it paranoia on their part about the future, but they think we prefer.

I would shine for women. I would rather die here than die in detention camps, now you can say okay, it is very unreasonable, that is not the way we are putting things. The Prime Minister keeps saying that, but I personally would have liked him to have called a group and engaged with them as the head of the Indian family, but that has not happened so far. I wish I had made that offer. That hasn't happened until now either. They are taking a softer route through the court, yes, rather than forcibly removing them because the implications will be enormous if some violence takes place, but I would say this: we are seeing something unprecedented in terms of women's empowerment.

Muslims and the courage they have shown and I think we are in the process. We will probably look back if we don't get new leadership. is being criticized in different ways, the young people who speak about you know the right to equality. I have seen political families where young people say this is not acceptable, that inequality is a principle that India subscribes to, it is not acceptable that everyone is. the same and that's where the commitment to secularism comes from and a lot of things come from that, so I think what is the political manifestation of this boom that is taking place in Muslim universities in India.

I am in my party winning with the similar type of campaign despite the time they invented. I think something very significant is happening at ground level. Okay, something significant is happening and a big Trump visit might be a filibuster, it might actually be overshadowed for two days, but it won't change what's happening on the ground. New Jersey, thank you very much. Thank you so much for talking to me here, to tell you the truth, if that brings us to an end, remember if you have specific questions about things we want us to pick up on the show, send us a comment in the comments section, thanks for watching.
