Online Reaction to US Consul General’s Hyderabad Visit Sparks Debate

Hyderabad/Panjab Post
US Consul General Jennifer Larson’s recent visit to the residence of Asaduddin Owaisi, AIMIM chief and Hyderabad MP, has stirred significant online conversation. Larson took to X to share a photograph of herself with Owaisi, expressing gratitude for his “hospitality” and for the “informed and important discussions” they had on various mutual concerns. She expressed eagerness to continue their dialogue in the future.
Owaisi reciprocated by retweeting Larson’s post, featuring a cheerful image of the two outside his home. However, the meeting has been met with a wave of skepticism from netizens. Critics have accused the United States of interfering in Indian politics, with one user alleging that previous US diplomatic actions had contributed to political shifts in West Bengal, citing the ousting of Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee.
The heated responses reflect a broader concern about foreign influence in domestic affairs, with some users cautioning against the involvement of US diplomats in Indian political matters.
