New Delhi: Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi while citing a speech of United States President Joe Biden who visited Vietnam after attending G20 Summit in India.

The Congress leader said Joe Biden talked with Prime Minister about human rights and free press. “Mr Modi saying to Mr Biden — “Na Press Conference karunga, Na karne doonga” (won’t hold a press conference, won’t let you hold one) has had no impact,” said Ramesh in a post on blog X.

“Mr Biden is saying the same things in Vietnam which he said to Mr Modi’s face in India — on respecting human rights, the role of civil society and the free press,” added senior Congress leader.

Jairam Ramesh’s remarks came after Joe Biden made a speech in Vietnam advocating human rights and free press. The President said, “…and as I always do, I raised the importance of respecting human rights, the vital role of civil society, and a free press and building a strong and prosperous country with Mr Modi. We got a lot of important work done.”
