Even as the toxic Delhi air has left people cooped-up indoors, struggling to breathe, PM Modi is inviting the world, or specifically Thailand, to visit India because ‘it’s the best time to do so’.
PM in Bangkok: This is the best time to be in India. Many things are rising while others are falling. Ease of doing business, ease of living, FDI, forest cover, patents, productivity, infrastructure are rising. While taxes, tax rates, red tapism, corruption,cronyism are falling. pic.twitter.com/YAFYgDRxSj

However, an invitation to India may not be what the world is looking for currently. Because the situation has become dire that it has even attracted the attention of global media. And here’s what they have to say about the ‘Delhi Air Emergency’:
New York Times
The Washinton Post
BBC News
Fox News
The Independent
The Guardian
ALJAZEERA
People also took to Twitter to comment on PM Modi’s invite to Thailand:
Delhi – NCR has been declared Heath emergency by the Delhi govt till Tuesday. Absolutely ridiculous situation there. And modi over there in Thailand saying, this is the best time to travel to India. Unbelievable!

I don’t know about who wants to visit India, but I’d definitely not mind being invited to Thailand.
