Prime Minister Narendra Modi is addressing the Indian diaspora at London’s Westminster Central Hall. He has shared his views on surgical strikes, Pakistan’s exporting of terrorism, rape incidents in India and poverty. Earlier, he met Queen Elizabeth II at the Buckingham Palace ahead of his Westminster Hall address on Wednesday. He also paid tributes at the bust of Basaveshwara (12th-century Lingayat philosopher) at Albert Embankment Gardens in London. The Prince of Wales and the Prime Minister visited the science museum to view the Illuminating India exhibition and meet members of the British Indian communities. PM Modi also held a breakfast meeting with his British counterpart Theresa May at 10 Downing Street during which the two leaders discussed a wide range of issues of mutual interest, including cross-border terrorism, visas and immigration. PM Modi today told his British counterpart that there would be no dilution in the importance of the UK to India after it leaves the EU, as the two leaders agreed to infuse new energy into bilateral ties post-Brexit. The two leaders had “fruitful discussions” on multiple aspects of India-UK relations and issues like counter-terrorism, radicalisation and online extremism, according to official statements.
