According to foreign media reports, because of the terrifying outbreak of the epidemic in India recently, the Indian government is helpless and can only sit and watch the number of newly confirmed cases and the number of deaths continue to rise. At such a critical time, one move by Air India stunned everyone: Air India increased the number of non-stop flights to the US to 32 times a week! Many netizens said: Modi This is to harm Americans! Subsequently, the White House of the United States issued an emergency declaration to restrict the entry of Indians. It seems that Biden's attitude is very clear: we do not allow Indians to come to the United States!
The move of Air India this time can be said to be unbelievable. Because the domestic epidemic situation is so chaotic, it should quickly reduce foreign flights, or even ban all flights, to prevent domestic new crown patients from carrying the virus out of the country, this is the correct way . But the crazy Indians have to do the opposite. The Modi government not only does not restrict people from leaving the country, but also increases flights to the United States. This move makes Americans very dissatisfied, especially the US President Biden, who just took office this year, is even more panicked. God.
Soon, news came out from the White House that " travel restrictions" will be implemented for people from India, which means that Indians will not be allowed to enter to prevent the outbreak of the new crown epidemic in the United States. Of course, if you are an American in India, you can still return to the United States, but you will be quarantined for a few weeks. The move by Air India to increase flights to the United States this time is seen by the outside world as "Modi wants to drag Biden into the water". I wonder if the two governments will have any follow-up actions.
Mentioning about the epidemic in India and the "travel restrictions" of the US government, I have to talk about Australia that also prohibits Indians from entering.As early as a week before the US government announced the "travel restrictions", Morrison has issued a controversial restriction order: starting from April 27, all direct flights from India to Australia will be suspended for the next three weeks. . Morrison disregarded the " past sympathy" with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and a ban made the India-Australia relationship " rupture ".
What is even more shocking is that the ban clearly states that not only Indians cannot enter Australia, but also nationals who have traveled to India in the past two weeks. Violators will face 5 years in prison or a fine of 66,000 Australian dollars! That is to say, the Australian government has "abandoned" its own citizens, and all Australians living in India will be "homeless" and can only wait for the ban to be lifted.
Morrison's ban was called a "violation of human rights" by Australian opposition figures, who believed that the government should quickly bring back the nationals in India for protection when the epidemic is so severe , rather than being shut out. Morrison responded: In order to prevent a third wave of the new crown epidemic in Australia, the government can only "do this". It seems that India has really become a " crossing the street mouse ", and the US and Australia have successively made moves because they are afraid of "burning themselves"! Of course, other countries have also cut off ties with it.
