“The meetings were kept under wraps for some strange reason. But the Joe Biden administration clearly didn’t shut the door on an opposition leader. Why should it?” wrote Sirohi.

Gandhi landed in San Francisco on May 30 for a three-city US tour during which he interacted with the Indian diaspora and met American lawmakers.

He wrapped up his US visit on June 5.

Prime Minister Modi will embark on his first state visit to the US at the invitation of President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden in June. The US president and the First Lady will also host Modi at a state dinner on June 22.
