'Not merely a system': PM Modi praises Indian democracy
During his visit to Ghana, Prime Minister Narendra Modi told their Parliament that democracy isn't just a system for India—it's part of who we are.
He highlighted how India's huge political diversity, with thousands of parties and many opposition-run states, shows this commitment.
'Both India and Ghana...'
Modi called democracy "a means to debate, unity, dignity and human rights," and pointed out that both India and Ghana share a colonial past but have built strong democracies.
This is the first time in 30 years an Indian PM has visited Ghana—part of Modi's wider African tour.
