“During Johnson’s stay in India, there was an atmosphere of communal tension throughout the country, including in the national capital Delhi. During the country’s independence, there was an atmosphere of religious hatred and violence. Even after so a few years, the Prime Minister of UK is witnessing the same atmosphere in India. Johnson saw India in the identical condition in which the British had left the country,” the editorial said.
