Did PM Narendra Modi insult India? Well, some people think so!
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who recently marked one year in office, is now facing severe flak for a remark he recently made a meeting with the Indian community in Shanghai.
Quoted in a foreign media, Modi said his year in office had given Indians abroad a new pride in the country. “Earlier you felt ashamed of being born Indian,” he added.
