India accused of 'hiding' poor people ahead of Trump visit



Well, it is a good question. But they say they're not trying to hide poor people.



This is part of an event called Namaste Trump, and it will be held at the largest cricket stadium in the world.



Eviction notices were served to 45 families living close to the stadium.

Government is usually not know for being proactive. So you end up with a lot of reactive actions.
Fix the problem only when it become necessary by whatever drastic means necessary.

I'm not saying it's a good thing to do.
But I understand it.

Do you remember Bush's "Free Speech Zones"?

The USA government used to have places where people could express their opinions. Blocks away from the visiting dignataries and media and such.

The USA government didn't like freedom of speech, but they couldn't really get rid of it entirely. So, they employed policemen(sorry, policepersons) to keep people away from anything as important as politicians and TV cameras if they weren't waving flags and supporting Bush.

But a low wall? Amateurs.
If they knew what they were doing they'd put up a proper Potemkin facade.

I wonder if they'll make Mexico pay for the wall.

That's... um... a lot of people.
