Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said that India has no role in causing destruction to the world, in an apparent criticism of the West.Addressing thousands of Indian-Americans at a community event in New York, PM Modi said that India has 17 per cent of the world’s population and its carbon emissions are less than four per cent. Talking about India’s green energy transition, he said a large number of green jobs are being created in India. “India represents about 17 per cent of the world’s population, and despite that, our contribution to emission is about only four per cent,” he said, adding India today has “no role in causing destruction” to the world.
