NEW YORK: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has thanked Indian-Americans for the “overwhelming” public reception he received from the community at the Madison Square Garden here.
“The program at Madison Square Garden was overwhelming.
It was very special to interact with members of the Diaspora.
A big thank you,” Modi said in a tweet.
“Through their hardwork, actions & strong values, the Indian American community has earned immense respect. We are very proud of them,” he said.
This was Modi’s first comment on the social media after he addressed more than 18,500 Indian-Americans at the Madison Square Garden.
