It’s going to be the hurray day for Indian Americans!
Yes! We are talking about September 22, 2019, the day of blockbuster show, presented by the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and supported by the US President Donald Trump.
Howdy Modi!!!
The vibrant Indian PM Narendra Modi is going to address the large gathering of 50,000 Indian Americans at a massive event at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas.
And, Donald Trump is making the guest appearance!
This is Modi’s third massive address in the United States since he assumed office as the Prime Minister of India. Previously, he addressed two mass gatherings one at New York’s Madison Square Garden in 2014 and the other in San Jose.
The Modi-Trump meet is of high prevalence this time and is happening for the third time after the G-20 summit in Japan in June and the G-7 summit in France in August 2019.
Responding to media queries on ‘possible big announcements’ during this show, Trump said, “Could be. I have a very good relationship with Prime Minister Modi.”
Earlier this week, Indian Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal had also announced that India and US heading towards important trade deals during Modi’s visit.
”We are finalizing the agreement. Whether president Trump and prime minister Modi announce it during their meeting is up to them,” Goyal said in a statement.
Referring to Indo-US ties and ongoing business deals, Indian External Affairs Minister Jaishankar stated it’s like “a glass 90% full’ rather than the one 10% empty.”
On the opposite side, the event has also drawn some criticism from India’s minority communities in US. On September 14, 2019, some of the protestors organized a ‘dress-rehearsal’ from the Sikh National Center in north-western Houston to the NRG Center.
There has also been a strong criticism around Modi receiving the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation award.
