Flash mob for Mobi

A group of Indian women in the UK will stage a "colourful" flash mob to welcome Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visit to the UK for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) later this month, PTI reports from London.

Indian Ladies in UK (ILUK) on Tuesday said the flash mob, to be staged outside 10 Downing Street, will see dozens of sari-clad women perform a series of dances as a show of support.

The group said it plans to get the slogan #BetaPadhaoBetiBachao (educate our sons to save our daughters) trending as a message from Indian women based in the UK for the prime minister to take back to the country.

It also plans to collect hand-written messages from thousands of its members living across the UK in a so-called "treasure box" named #WomanKiBaat to be presented to Modi.

The box will be carried around London in a specially-designed van branded as #ChaltiKaNaamModi.
