    US lawmakers want Modi to address US Congress
    Credits:
  • Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit the US for a bilateral summit with President Barack Obama around the 7-8th of June.

    Senior US lawmakers have written to House speaker Paul Ryan to use this opportunity to invite PM Modi to address a joint session of the Congress.

    The invitation would be a sharp turnaround for Modi who was once barred from visiting the US.

    Credits:
  • Narendra Modi was denied a US Diplomatic Visa in 2005, and his business/tourist visa was also revoked under Section 212 (a)(2)(g) of the US Immigration and Nationality Act.

    The section makes any foreign official involved in a violation of religious freedom ineligible for US visa.

    The denial of visa apparently held him responsible for the communal riots in Gujarat that took over 2000 lives.

  • PM Modi attended a 2-day Nuclear Security Summit (NSS) organised as an initiative of President Obama.

    The summit was aimed at coordinating global efforts to prevent terrorists from acquiring nuclear weapons or materials.

    A bilateral visit could not be organised at the time due to the paucity of time.

    However, during a brief interaction President Obama invited PM Modi to the US.

    Addressing the US Congress

  • Addresses to the US Congress, House of Representatives (lower house) and Senate (upper house) are considered a great honour. Last year only two dignitaries, Pope Francis and the Japanese PM Shinzo Abe had the opportunity to do so.
