PM Modi at UN: Humanity’s success lies in collective strength, not battlefields

<p>On Thursday, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the US Congress for the second time. His nearly one-hour-long address&nbsp;was attended by many lawmakers and the Indian-American community.</p>

<p>Modi’s speech, which touched upon various key themes, received 15 standing ovations, 79 applauses.</p>

<p>This time, his speech was longer in duration than last time, which was about 45 minutes in 2016.</p>

<p>As soon as he ended his address, many US lawmakers were seen rushing to Modi to interact with him, and also take his autograph, and click selfies.</p>

<p>During this time, chants of 'Bharat Mata ki Jai' ('Long live mother India). and 'Vande Mataram' (praise the motherland) reverberated the premises.</p>

<p>Among those who sought Modi’s autograph was Speaker of the US House of Representatives Kevin McCarthy. The Indian PM autographed McCarthy's joint session address booklet.</p>

<p>"It was a privilege to welcome Prime Minister @narendramodi to the US Capitol, one of the greatest symbols of democracy in the world. I look forward to increased economic and national security ties between our two great nations," tweeted McCarthy.</p>

<p>Before the State Dinner, McCarthy said he had a great time with him.</p>

<p>"We had a great time with Prime Minister Modi. We have a very strong relationship, PM Modi continues to make that grow and make both nations stronger," McCarthy said.</p>

<p>There were some notable moments during the prime minister's speech.</p>

<p>When his address began, PM Modi announced that India had shot down a <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/what-is-low-earth-orbit-satellite-against-which-india-launched-a-surgical-strike-in-space-205974">low earth orbit satellite</a> with an A-Sat (anti-satellite) missile.

<p>Only three countries - America, Russia and China - the prime minister said, have this capability. India is the fourth to join the club.</p>

<p>The operation had been called "Mission Shakti", and consisted of the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/all-you-need-to-know-about-mission-shakti-indias-anti-satellite-missile-test-205998">A-Sat missile</a> shooting down a live satellite in low earth orbit.&nbsp; The entire operation, Modi said, had taken three minutes.</p>

<p>Modi added that India's A-Sat missile was not meant to be used for offence, but for defence.</p>

<p>Later, at a press conference, Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said criticised the previous governments for not giving permission to build the anti-satellite missile.</p>

<p>"The process started in 2014 after the PM gave the permission, it's a huge achievement, not only we have become space power but we are now in big four. We should not forget that tomorrow's wars will not be the same as yesterday's wars," said Jaitley.</p>

<p>Targeting the Congress, he said those patting their own back for India's strategic missile programme were doing so for wrong reasons.</p>
