Ahead of a visit by President Trump, India has hastily has erected a wall in Gujarat state, with critics saying it is designed to block the view of a slum area inhabited by more than 2,000 people. Trump is building a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.

A man rides past a wall painted with portraits of U.S. President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi ahead of Trump's visit, in Ahmadabad, India, Tuesday, Feb. 18, 2020. Trump is scheduled to visit the city during his Feb. 24-25 India trip.

Trump is visiting the city of Ahmedabad in Gujarat during a two-day trip to India next week to attend an event called “Namaste Trump,” which translates to “Greetings, Trump,” at a cricket stadium along the lines of a “Howdy Modi” rally attended by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Houston last September. Trump is to drive along a road next to the slum and will be accompanied by Modi, who is from Gujarat.

“Apart from security reasons, the wall is also part of a beautification and cleanliness drive,” she said. The residents said they were asked to leave because of the upcoming event, but the city’s civic body denied it.

waste of money and resource when india is experiencing economic slowdown

It was planned much earlier.

Shocking to see how low some sections of Indian press would stoop! Even a rookie would know that POTUS route plans are not made public in advance. But even if they were, it's for India to ensure safety of his route. Imagine the shock if a terrorist was able to take a pot shot!

Fake news.. AP can only report anti-Modi, anti-BJP news..Their “journalists” are on payroll of the breaking India forces..this “propaganda machine/newspaper” is a radical left-liberal mouthpiece presstitutes

What a shabby paint work.

गुजरात मे एक सड़क को सुंदर बनाने के लिए एक दीवार क्या बनाई वो कांग्रेसी भी सड़को पर घाघरा उठाकर दौड़ रहे है, जिनके वालिद जवाहर लाल नेहरू ने 1955 में सऊदी के राजा के वाराणसी जाने पर वहां के मन्दिरो को काले कपड़े से ढकवा दिया था ..!!

Actually Modi doesn't want to show his development of 14 year as CM and 6 Year as PM total 20 years to Trump otherwise Trump may copy that

This is propaganda, not true

is that the wall in the pic? holy cow

saileenas That looks like a saffron scarf the guy on the mobike is wearing.

the Security Agencies of Trump will have keep a close eye of the area using drone. Everything will be visible.

So, based on the comparison you make between the walls, you feel the country of Mexico is a slum that should be hidden from view? Seems kinda rude...

Building walls and President Trump. A perfect match

Just here to enjoy the butt hurt. Please go on. 🍿🍿🍿

Obama Administration Press

The Indian version of doing things. We go one step further than Trump - we build wall for our own people.

Random correlations- journalism is dead

Liberal logic and a bag o pop corn. Loke mo ron tennis.

This reminds me of that Billy Connelly joke about the Queen thinking the world smells like paint.

Reaching for it and almost...nope .

All walls are fungible

Yes, we want to block the view of Mexico. 🤣👍

This is laughable 😂. AP is a JOKE

I like chocolate.

I has hastily has read this.

*shrugs* ..... yes

This is the stupidest headline I have ever read. What are you doing ?

Mexico to pay for it.

How are we making this leap come now

what 7th grade yearbook editor wrote this tweet?

Now realDonaldTrump will definitely want to see 'what is behind the wall?' and ask questions from narendramodi about it. Anyway both love 'wall' .

What does a wall hiding slums and a walls keeping illegal entry by drugs and immigration compare? I see walls along highways all the time? Walls around mansions, walls along train routes. Etc.

Why? Trump doesn't give a shit if there are poor people living like stray dogs

What does one have to do with the other? Nothing.

Here ya go, ZubyMusic. A real good ecample of 'So?'

Embarrassing headline. Proofreading is helpful.

And? Remember when Brazil hid 1000s of homeless during the World Cup?

India has hastily has..👌👍🙏 great English.. Atleast check grammar before tweeting..

Not sure how this will go over with him On one hand, Trump hates non whites. On the other hand, Trump loves facists and racists 🤔

What a 180 on that headline

Trump loves a good fascist wall.

Why did you have to insert in your headline that Trump is building a wall along Mexico? Shows how impartial your coverage is

Unfortumately, there aren't enough walls in the world to hide all of the slums in India from Trump's view. But, there's really no point in hiding those desperately poor people from him. He won't care, anyway. He is incapable of empathy.

Nice grammar, 'journalist.'

Disgusting

Republicans despise poor people.

Oh my gosh, I totally have walls in my house. Is there correlation there too?

Can u do just the news please and hold your opinion to your self

gets more pathetic by the day. Didn’t think that was possible yet here we are.🙄

Look how a dishonest bias media tries to conflate two unrelated issues: - India trying embarrassed by its poverty & trying to hide it - Trump trying to secure our border

Difference is , that’s their country. Mexico is not our country!!

Racists just have a thing for walls. Modi is no different than Trump.

The first sentence is irrelevant to the second sentence in your headline BadJournalism

We built a privacy fence because our neighbors are hoarders. AP:Trump is building a wall on the US-Mexico border. AP following: Orange man bad!

Fake conclusions to creat a perception against a round the year activity to protect the poor who have yet to shift in new buildings/towers built for them.

QUICK HIDE THE POORS

Weak headline, just reaching for the Trump Wall connection. Not even going to read the article. If they are building a wall to block a poverty stricken area, shame. India’s US ambassador should communicate the truth to POTUS.

Border wall irrelevant! 😂 Hitler ate food. Trump eats food too. 🙄

Unsure what one has to do with the other?

News? That’s “news” at the Associated Press No, this is a non-story aimed at demeaning the President. Getting bias out of the National Media is proving to be an impossibility.

Is this news...? It's just (very silly) propaganda. reminder: the southern border wall has been a bipartisan proposal for decades.

Wow I have walls in my house holy shit

'Trump is building a wall on the US-Mexico border'. You really dumbed it down for your orange man bad people, huh?

This is common place in Southeast Asia when dignitaries pay a visit. Philippines too.

How sad is it that the doesn’t proof read their headlines. It’s urgency is to bash Trump every chance they get, even if it means conflating a headline about two different issues

AP working hard with the “wall” non-sequitur.

Trump isn't building anything, Americans are building the wall. Trump is just finding them the funding! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

The 1% and their fear. FTT

once again proving they are not impartial or unbiased, but an arm of the Resistance.

Kinda feels like that last sentence was just thrown in there for maybe political reasons

Banksy’s new wall art looks like shit!

Hey people who proof read your tweets? I think you are overusing ‘has’ 😂

THIS is garbage 'journalism ' ! What does a big, beautiful, and much needed wall to stop drugs, crime, & illegal immigration on Mexican border have ANYTHING to do with what India is doing You are 100% FakeNews !!

Such a disingenuous tweet. The two have nothing to do with one another. Are we to never-mind the massive drug & human trafficking, gangs, crime, rape, etc going on on our southern border? Open borders fantasists are dangerous

Learn how to write.

Mexico is not a 'slum' great folks live there.

Almost no typos in this headline....almost.

Authoritarian twins.

Actually, trump is NOT building a wall. He's retrofitting existing wall. C'mon

Modi and Trump are one of a kind.

😡😡😡
