PM Modi said that as a citizen of a vibrant democracy, I can accept one thing… Mr. Speaker, your work is difficult. I can understand the debate of ideas and ideology. I’m happy to help whenever you need strong bipartisan consensus.
PM also said in the US Parliament – this is not an era of war…
He said that with the Ukraine conflict, war has returned to Europe. This is causing great pain. Since major powers are involved, the consequences will be dire. As I said, this is not an era of war. This is the era of dialogue and diplomacy.
