World had nothing better to receive than the Gita: Modi

September 02, 2014 16:29

PM Modi defends gifting a copy of the Bhagwad Gita to Emperor Akihito. "Bhagwad Gita is India's biggest gift to the world," he says. "I don't have anything better to gift than the Bhagwad Gita and the world can get nothing bigger than the Gita. The world has nothing better to receive. I brought the Bhagwad Gita to be gifted to PM, but seculars in India might be debating that Modi has made Bhagwad Geeta also communal."

Speaking to the NRI community, Modi urges them promote tourism to India. "Through your efforts, you should inspire five Japanese families to visit India," he said.
