The annual summit of the Group of 20 economies is the largest gathering of world leaders ever in New Delhi, with attendees including President Joe Biden, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and others.
They will be greeted by some of the cleanest streets New Delhi has seen, ornamented by hundreds of thousands of lush flowers potted on freshly painted pavements. What they will not see are the hundreds of thousands of people who have been displaced, or the slums that have been flattened or obscured by temporary fences bearing the G20 summit’s logo and photos of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Modi’s government hopes the beautification project will help showcase the best of what the world’s most populous country has to offer, further cementing its position on the global stage.
Anything that might disrupt that effort is unwelcome.
It’s so sad only certain nations get called out, and more than a bit suspicious, isn’t it?
I cant say I know what you are talking about. This kind of stuff gets called out all the time.
You sound removed and seem to be living under a rock or just awfully biased
It’s quite possible i haven’t seen them. I don’t use news aggregators and this is my only social media, so unless it’s what bothers locals in a small area, or i see it here, I really don’t know. Thanks for the reminder.
