‘First of all…’: S Jaishankar rejects US President Biden's ‘xenophobic’ remarks
==========

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar dismissed US President Joe Biden’s assertion that “xenophobia” hindered India’s economic progress during an ET round table on Friday. Jaishankar countered, affirming India’s robust economy and historical openness as a society. He highlighted the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) as evidence of India’s welcoming stance towards those in need. The CAA facilitates citizenship for immigrants fleeing persecution in neighboring countries. Biden’s remarks earlier in the week had criticised xenophobia in China, Japan and India, attributing it to economic limitations.
