Who is Sabrina Siddiqui, White House reporter who questioned PM Modi on Indian democracy?
During a joint press conference at the White House on June 22, an unusual event took place as PM Modi, who has been leading India since 2014, addressed questions. Sabrina Siddiqui, a journalist from the Wall Street Journal, inquired about the measures implemented by his government to enhance minority rights and safeguard freedom of expression in India.
Since assuming office as prime minister in 2014, PM Modi has refrained from conducting any press conferences. Although he made an appearance at a press conference in May 2019, he chose not to entertain any questions.
The White House has implemented stringent regulations for press conferences involving other world leaders. The U.S. authorities preselect reporters from both domestic and international media for President Biden and his guest to address, resulting in a limited number of questions being asked.
