Trinidad and Tobago's move to honor Indian PM Modi divides opinion
Briefly

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit Trinidad and Tobago, marking the first visit by a sitting Indian prime minister. He will receive the Order of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago as a testament to his contributions to the nation's development and international relations. The honor is supported by the Indo-Trinidadian Hindu community but faces backlash from the Anjuman Sunnat-ul-Jamaat Association, which cites Modi’s controversial human rights record and actions against Muslims, including the 2002 Gujarat riots. The group plans to communicate their concerns to government officials.
Modi’s two-day visit to Trinidad and Tobago marks the first time a sitting Indian prime minister visits the country, receiving the prestigious Order of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago (ORTT).
The Anjuman Sunnat-ul-Jamaat Association (ASJA) expressed concerns over Modi's human rights record and connection to religious intolerance, especially regarding the Muslim minority in India.
