U.S. presidential adviser Ivanka Trump's praise of an Indian teenager's bicycle ride home hundreds of miles away is drawing criticism in India for being insensitive to the plight of impoverished migrant workers struggling in a lockdown.

Jyoti Kumari, 15, carried her father Mohan Paswan on the back of her bicycle for about a week for 750 miles (1,200 km), from Gurugram near New Delhi in the north of India to their home in the Darbhanga district, Bihar state, east India.

They pair are just some of the many out-of-work migrants leaving the big cities for their homes in other parts of India because the shutdown has sapped their savings.

Ivanka, daughter of U.S. President Donald Trump, tweeted on Friday night: '15 yr old Jyoti Kumari, carried her wounded father to their home village on the back of her bicycle covering +1,200 km over 7 days.
