When Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visits the US in September for the Climate Action Summit convened by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, he is expected to visit Houston to attend a massive Indian diaspora rally, according to a source familiar with the preliminary planning. While his participation in the climate summit and the high-level General Assembly Debate was listed among his forthcoming foreign travel plans soon after his election in May, the Houston meeting is still to be officially announced.
A community source close to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) told IANS that the planning for the Houston rally was still in a preliminary stage with the date still to be determined and there has been an outreach to different community groups about participating in it. The source added that it was not to be a party affair and would be organised by groups representing a cross-section of the diaspora in Texas to show his broad appeal to the Indian community in the US.
