India's finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman, who is currently visiting USA's Washington, commented on "negative" perception of India in the West. She was speaking at the Peterson Institute for International Economics.
Asked about the "negative perception", Nirmala said, "I would think the answer for that lies with those investors who are coming to India, and they've been coming. And as somebody who's interested in receiving investments, I would only say, come have a look at what's happening in India, rather than listen to perceptions being built by people who have not even visited on the ground and who produce reports."
She added that while the Muslim population is growing in India, the situation of minorities in Pakistan is worsening.
