Journalist Sabrina Siddiqui is being harassed online for asking Modi a question

Sabrina Siddiqui asked Narendra Modi a question about "human rights and expression in India"

The White House has condemned the "online harassment" of a Muslim journalist for asking Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi a human rights question. 

According to NDTV, Sabrina Siddiqui, a Wall Street general's journalist, asked Narendra Modi a question about "democracy in India" during a press conference with US President Joe Biden. 

Asked about the reporter's harassment, John Kirby, the White House's national security chief, said the White House is aware the woman was harassed. 

According to Wall Street, Sabrina Siddiqui says that since popping the question to Narendra Modi, she has faced severe online criticism and harassment from India, and has also been targeted as a Muslim. 

"This is absolutely unacceptable," said John Kirby. We condemn harassment of any journalist on any subject in any part of the world. According to him, this contradicts democratic principles. 

After John Kirby's testimony, White House Press Secretary Karen Jean-Pierre took the podium and said, "I support what John Kirby said, and the White House is committed to a free press." 

We condemn any attempt to intimidate journalists, even if they are just doing their job. 

We recall that during Thursday's press conference with US President Joe Biden, Narendra Modi said in response to Sabrina Siddiqui's question that there is no place for discrimination in India because the government obeys its constitution. 

This journalist was asked that many human rights groups talk about discrimination and dissent is silenced. What is your government doing to improve conditions and freedom of expression for Muslims and other minorities? 

Narendra Modi said: "I wonder on what basis you say that." We are a democracy. Democracy is our soul and our breath is a democracy. 

In response to online criticism, Sabrina Siddiqui shared a picture of herself wearing Indian team t-shirts and chanting slogans for the Indian team with her father. She is from India. 

"Some people asked questions about my personal background,"
