However, the Washington has proposed September 30 as the date for the meeting The meeting will mark the end of the 9-year chill between the US and Modi. The invitation for the meeting came during the congratulatory call to Modi by Obama after the Lok Sabha election results were out. Congress leader, Shashi Tharoor who has been vocal in praising Modi, backed the PM's visit to the US. "Today what happened with the invitation is something we are in support. As an Indian, I would not want anyone from any foreign country to insult my PM. The question of a Visa does not arise today as this is not his personal visit," Tharoor said. No Signature |
