The Bharatiya diaspora in Abu Dhabi is eagerly awaiting the address by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the ‘Ahlan Modi’ event later today. The diaspora has gathered at the Zayed City sports stadium, where the event is slated to be held, and chanted the slogans of ‘Ahlan Modi’ and ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’.
Notably, ‘Ahlan Modi’ title roughly translates to ‘Hello Modi’. “I have come from Ajman. I am very excited to see our dear Prime Minister. We are waiting for him,” a woman of Bharatiya origin told ANI.
