Uninformed, inappropriate, India slams Trump's 'hellhole' jibe

India on Thursday lashed out at US President Donald Trump for endorsing a post that described India as a "hellhole on the planet", saying such remarks were "uninformed, inappropriate and in poor taste", and that they did not reflect the true nature of bilateral ties. Responding to media queries, Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said New Delhi had taken note of both the original comments on social media and a subsequent clarification issued by the US Embassy. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) in a statement this evening said the comments "certainly do not reflect the reality of the India-US relationship, which has long been based on mutual respect and shared interests.

In a damage-control move, the US embassy released a statement that Trump believes India is a "great" country led by a "good friend of mine at the top". The US spokesperson's statement came in response to queries from the Indian media about the controversy created by Trump reposting on social media comments by radio show host Michael Savage that referred to India, China and some other countries as "hell-holes".
Trump's post drew  criticism from the Hindu American Foundation, which said it was "deeply disturbed" by the content. "We are deeply disturbed by POTUS sharing this hateful, racist screed targeting Indian and Chinese Americans," the group said in a statement.The organisation urged Trump "to reconsider, delete this post and recognise the indelible contributions of Asian Americans to our great country."
