Meanwhile, several interesting topics were discussed during Fridman’s interview with Modi.
For example, while speaking about the 2002 Gujarat riots, PM Modi alleged that a concrete effort was made to spread “misinformation” that the communal riots after the Godhra train-burn tragedy were the most serious in the history of Gujarat.
The Prime Minister also alleged that rival parties wanted to stick to allegations of misuse of power against Modi, but mistakenly stated that the BJP’s political opponents were in power during that time, when in fact the NDA government led by Atal Bihari Vajpeya was at the center.
“At that time, our political opponents were in power, and naturally they wanted us to stick to all the allegations. They wanted to see us punished. Despite their tireless efforts, the judiciary analyzed the situation twice and found us completely innocent,” Modi said.
The Prime Minister also said about how the Rashtriya Swayam Sevak Sangh (RSS) has influenced every aspect of his life from an early age.
He also said that there was no organization like RSS in the world and millions of Indians are associated with it.
“More than anything, the RSS gives you a clear direction, which can actually be called an objective in life. Secondly, the nation is everything, and serving people is the same to serve God,” he said.
PM Modi also said about his relationship with President Trump, saying that there are many similarities between the two leaders and Trump’s “US First” ideology align with the BJP’s “India first” approach.
He also shared a personal anecdote about the ‘Hody Modi’ program in Houston in 2019, when PM Modi and President Trump addressed a crowd of thousands together.
Modi said, “His entire security details were dropped from the guard,” but for me, he was touching the moment … it showed his courage. ,
