US President Donald Trump will be speaking before PM Modi at the Howdy Modi event.

US President Donald Trump is expected to deliver a major, 30-minute speech on India and Indian Americans.

The US president joining Modi on stage in Houston "is a very clear indication of where the Trump administration stands when it comes to Pakistan", Shalabh Kumar from the Republican Hindu Coalition said.

Stating that Pakistan was planning to hold a protest against Modi in front of the NRG stadium on the Kashmir issue, Kumar claimed that it had been quashed to a great extent.

"This is a big slap on Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan," he said, adding that the US is now fully behind India on Kashmir in the aftermath of the abrogation of Articles 370 and 35A of the Indian constitution.
