External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar counters US President Joe Biden's assertion that 'xenophobia' hinders India's economic progress. Jaishankar emphasizes India's historical openness to diverse societies, citing the Citizenship Amendment Act's provision for those in need. Speaking at a round table, he dismisses claims of India's economic faltering and criticizes those who oppose the CAA. Biden's comments sparked controversy, with the White House clarifying his statement as making a "broader point."
