US cites India on voter IDs, but are elections under Modi clean?
Trump highlights India's voter ID rules to bolster his case for stricter US election laws.
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) affirmed on Tuesday that India's electoral system "is well-established globally." Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal declined to comment directly on US President Donald Trump's remarks about India's election system while discussing voter identification (ID) requirements in the United States. Trump has been advocating for the passage of the SAVE America Act, a bill that would mandate photo identification for voters and restrict mail-in ballots.
The White House supports the legislation, emphasizing its bipartisan nature and the importance of ensuring that only US citizens participate in federal elections.
