    Howdy Modi: PM Modi addresses mega rally in Houston

    On September 22, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the mega "Howdy, Modi" event at the NRG stadium in Houston, Texas, in the presence of US President Donald Trump. As many as 50,000 Indian-Americans were present at the much-anticipated rally. The event also marked the presence of prominent NRIs and many US lawmakers. Notably, PM Modi arrived in US yesterday for a week-long trip.

    In win-win situation, Modi-Trump shared stage in Texas

    To note, the coming together of PM Modi and President Trump at the event will turn out to be a win-win situation for both the leaders. It might relieve PM Modi, as many US lawmakers have been critical of New Delhi's Kashmir move. Further, it could help boost President Trump's election campaign, as PM Modi openly supported him in front of the Indian diaspora.

    India ended the 70-year-old Article 370: PM Modi

    Speaking about the contentious scrapping of Article 370, PM Modi said, "India bid farewell to the 70-year-old law which had deprived the people of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh from the benefits of development. It was being used by separatists and terrorists." Further, in a veiled attack to neighboring Pakistan, he said, "Whether it is 9/11 or 26/11, where are the conspirators found?"
