Prime Minister Narendra Modi has thanked President Donald Trump for extending Diwali greetings and hoped for joint efforts to fight terrorism. The remark assumes significance amid the US’ growing proximity with Pakistan, a country known for exporting terror and providing a safe haven to terrorists.
“Thank you, President Trump, for your phone call and warm Diwali greetings. On this festival of lights, may our two great democracies continue to illuminate the world with hope and stand united against terrorism in all its forms,” said PM Modi in an online post.
