The Spin

Narrative A

India has a strong pharmaceutical regulatory system, and exports to other countries are closely monitored. The importing countries should also ensure they have similarly responsible regulatory systems rather than doubt India's manufacturers providing essential medications to millions worldwide through legitimate channels.

Narrative B

By exploiting regulatory weaknesses in vulnerable nations, Aveo's illegal opioid trade is devastating communities across West Africa and destroying young lives, while knowingly profiting from human suffering. The world, especially the West, must exert stronger diplomatic pressure on India to hold Aveo accountable.
