S Jaishankar denied the remark of US President Joe Biden describing India as xenophobic and said that the country has always been open and welcoming of a diverse society.
Jaishankar also cited the Modi government's implementation of CAA (Citizenship Amendment Act) to prove his point. "That's why we have the CAA (Citizenship Amendment Act), which is to open up doors for people who are in trouble… I think we should be open to people who have the need to come to India, who have a claim to come to India," he said, India News - Times Now
