PM Modi in US: During his address to a joint sitting of the US Congress, Prime minister Narendra Modi recognised the significant presence of millions of individuals in the United States who have ancestral ties to India. The chamber erupted in a standing ovation as PM Modi specifically mentioned the historic achievement of Kamala Harris in being elected as the vice president of the US.
“There are millions in the US who have roots in India and some of them sit in this chamber. One of them is seating behind, who has made history (pointing to Kamla Harris). I am told that Samosa Caucus is now the flavour of the House. I hope it grows and brings full diversity of Indian cuisine here,” PM Modi said on Thursday.
