Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a question regarding the discussion of bribery allegations against businessman Gautam Adani during his meeting with US President Donald Trump.
In his response during a press briefing at the White House, Modi said, “I believe every Indian is mine. Two prominent leaders of two countries never discuss such individual issues.”
“India is a democracy and our culture is ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’, we consider the whole world as one family,” PM said.
US prosecutors charged billionaire Gautam Adani for allegedly being part of a scheme to pay over USD 250 million (about Rs 2,100 crore) bribe to Indian officials in exchange of favourable terms for solar power contracts.
Days after bribery charges emerged and Donald Trump assumed office as the 47th US President, an executive order was issued directing the Department of Justice to halt enforcement of a nearly 50-year-old law used to investigate the Adani Group.
