PM Modi to speak on diaspora's role in India's growth story at his community address in US

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will speak on the role of the diaspora in India's development during his address to Indian Americans here next week, according to a community leader in charge of hosting the event. Prime Minister Modi is visiting the US from June 21-24 at the invitation of US President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden. They will host Modi at a state dinner on June 22. The visit also includes an address to the Joint Session of the Congress on June 22. Chicago-based Dr Bharat Barai, who was at the Ronald Reagan Building venue in Washington DC on Wednesday to give final shape to the next week's event, said that it is a sold-out event, with registration completed for all 838 seats.

"As far as the registrations are concerned, they are closed for the host committee as well as other people. We had an extraordinary response, all by word of mouth because we had only 838 seats. So there was no time and there was no capacity if we advertised outside," Barai told PTI.
