Indian Politics LIVE | 'Perception that Godhra were biggest riots ever is misinformation': Modi
"It was only around February 24 to February 26 that I stepped into the Gujarat Assembly for the very first time.
On February 27, 2002, we were seated in the Assembly for the Budget session when the Godhra incident occurred. People were burnt alive. Against the backdrop of the Kandahar hijacking, the attack on Parliament, and the 9/11 attack, one can imagine how tense and volatile the situation was. It was a tragedy for everyone—everyone prefers peace.
"However, the perception that these were the biggest riots ever is actually misinformation."
Indian Politics LIVE | 'At Howdy Modi, Trump listened to me speak while sitting among people. This is his magnanimity': Modi
On US President Donald Trump, PM Narendra Modi said in a podcast with Lex Fridman, "An event 'Howdy Modi' was organised in Houston. The stadium was full of supporters from the Indian community. We both delivered speeches, and he listened to me speak. I was on the stage, and he was down there. This is his magnanimity despite being the President of the United States.
"When I joined him down there, I asked him if he would join me in taking a lap around the stadium. We all know the security grid and protocol of the American President, but he readily agreed. Their security system was disturbed in a matter of moments. This was a touching moment for me, and I thought to myself that this person has courage. He takes his decision himself. Second, he had faith in me, and he came along. This emotion of mutual trust between us is so strong, and I realised it that day..
"When he was shot at during his election campaign, I could only think of and picture President Trump who walked with me in that crowded Houston stadium, and his undeterred resolve to live for America strengthened further. He talks about America First, and I talk about India First, so we have a good camaraderie."

Jairam Ramesh took to X (formerly Twitter) and wrote, "He who is afraid of facing the media in a press conference has found comfort in a foreign podcaster anchored in the rightwing ecosystem.
"And he has the gall to say that “criticism is the soul of democracy” when he has systematically gutted every institution that is to hold his Government accountable and gone after critics with a vengeance that no one in recent history has matched!
Hypo(d)crisy की कोई सीमा नहीं है!"
