Pakistan’s Hina Khar: India’s policies are undemocratic

Pakistan’s Hina Khar: India’s policies are undemocratic | GZERO World

The last time Ian Bremmer and Hina Khar met at the Munich Security Conference, in 2020, she called India a “rogue state” and a bully in the neighborhood.

Two years later, she argues that the Indian government has proven her right with undemocratic gestures like the Citizenship Amendment Act.

“Basically, you're saying everybody who is Hindu has the right to be an Indian citizen, and anyone who's Muslim has the least right, and anyone in the middle, we'll think about it,” Khar said.

“This is not a liberal India,” she added.

What's more, Khar points out, India is also endangering regional politics as a member of the Quad, whose sole purpose according to Khar is to contain China.

"India today can get away with murder, and the West would look away.”
