The White House has condemned the ‘online harassment’ of a Muslim female journalist for asking Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi a question about human rights.

According to NDTV, Sabrina Siddiqui, a journalist associated with Wall Street General, asked Narendra Modi a question about ‘democracy in India’ during a press conference with US President Joe Biden.

When asked about the harassment of the journalist, John Kirby, the top national security officer of the White House, said, “The White House is aware of the fact that the woman was harassed.”

According to Wall Street, Sabrina Siddiqui says that ever since she asked the question to Narendra Modi, she has been subjected to severe criticism and harassment on the internet from within India and is also being targeted for being a Muslim.

John Kirby said: ‘This is absolutely unacceptable. We condemn any harassment of journalism on any issue in any part of the world.’

According to him, it is against democratic principles.

After John Kirby’s statement, White House press secretary Karen Jean-Pierre took to the podium and said, “I support what John Kirby said and White is committed to a free press.” We condemn any move to intimidate journalists even though they are just doing their job.’

Remember, in response to Sabrina Siddiqui’s question at the press conference with US President Joe Biden on Thursday, Narendra Modi said that there is no place for discrimination in India because the government is following its constitution.

“Many human rights groups are talking about discrimination, and dissent is being silenced,” asked the journalist. What is your government doing regarding the improvement of conditions and Muslims and other minorities and freedom of expression.’

On this, Narendra Modi said that ‘I wonder on what basis you are saying this. We are a democracy. Democracy is our soul and we breathe a democracy.’

In response to online criticism, Sabrina Siddiqui shared pictures of her wearing Indian team t-shirts and chanting slogans for the Indian team along with her father, who hails from India.

“Since some people have raised questions about my personal background,” he wrote. Then the whole picture seems to be shown. Sometimes identities are more complicated than they appear.’
