Prime Minister Narendra Modi has established a strong relationship with the Sikhs, a prominent Indian American leader has said while asserting that the free and fair general elections being held in India show the vibrancy and strength of the country`s democratic system. In an interview with PTI, Sikhs for America leader Jasdeep Singh Jassee said the reporting by a section of the Western media questioning the democratic traditions of India is far away from the truth.
`Look at what`s happening in the US` (opposition candidate and former president Donald) Trump is being dragged to court and he is not being allowed to speak in his campaign. Compared to that, India has a vibrant democracy and is working very effectively,` Singh said, adding India has set an example in conducting free and fair elections.
