<p>Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday (September 6), while speaking at a meeting of the Council of Ministers ahead of the G20 Summit, reacted to the controversial remarks against&nbsp;‘Sanatana Dharma’ by Tamil Nadu minister Udhayanidhi Stalin, saying that these comments need a "proper response".</p>

<p>"Few things cannot be opposed; they should only be abolished. We can't oppose dengue, mosquitoes, malaria, or coronavirus, we have to eradicate them. In the same way, we have to eradicate Sanatana (Sanatan Dharma). Rather than merely opposing Sanatana, it should be eradicated," he said.</p>

Indonesia refers to Modi as ‘PM of Bharat’ in invitation letter to ASEAN summit

In a recent interview, Indian PM Modi said, “India's G20 Presidency also sowed seeds of confidence in countries of the so-called third world. Africa is a top priority for us in G20; no future plan of earth can succeed without all voices being heard."

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Joe Biden are set to hold bilateral talks on September 8, on the sidelines of the G20 Summit, the White House announced.

Modi-Biden bilateral meet on September 8 ahead of G20 summit

<p>Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday appealed for “mutual trust” and "democratic values",&nbsp;while speaking of supply chain disruptions during the Covid19 pandemic, indirectly pointing at China, The Times of India reported.</p>

<p>The PM claimed that the Covid-19 pandemic brought about permanent changes in the world, without specifically referring to China. Addressing a B20 meeting, PM Modi pointed out that a market can only be profitable when the interests of producers and consumers are balanced. He further emphasised that the same is true for countries, saying that nations cannot be treated solely as markets.</p>

<p>“It will harm even the producing countries sooner or later. Making everyone equal partners in progress is the way forward,” The Times of India quoted him as saying.</p>

<p>PM Modi's statement, ,coming days after his meeting with China's Xi Jinping on the margins of the BRICS conference in Johannesburg, indicated India’s unease with its eastern neighbour amid rising tensions at the Line of Actual Control.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As businesses want to diversify their manufacturing bases and lessen their reliance on China, India has recently tried to present itself as an appealing investment destination.</p>

<p>Modi also warned of a new form of colonialism over the control of critical and rare minerals.</p>

<p>“We are experiencing this challenge in critical minerals, rare earth. These are available in large quantities in some places and are missing in other places. But the entire mankind needs it. Those who have it and do not see it as a global responsibility, then it will promote a new model of colonialism,” he said.</p>

<p>He advocated for taking an “integrated approach” to cryptocurrencies, a topic that India has prioritised&nbsp;for the upcoming G20 summit in September. He also touched upon the need for a global framework on cryptocurrency, which would cater to the interests of all stakeholders.</p>

<p>PM Modi also raised issues about artificial intelligence, adding that&nbsp;some ethical questions needed to be addressed. In order to discover a solution, the Indian PM maintained that governments and the international business community must ensure proper attention towards ethical AI.</p>

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday appealed for “mutual trust” and "democratic values", while speaking of supply chain disruptions during the Covid19 pandemic, indirectly pointing at China, The Times of India reported. The PM claimed that the Covid-19 pandemic brought about permanent changes in the world, without specifically referring to China. Addressing a B20 meeting, PM Modi pointed out that a market can only be profitable when the interests of producers and consumers are balanced. He further emphasised that the same is true for countries, saying that nations cannot be treated solely as markets. “It will harm even the producing countries sooner or later. Making everyone equal partners in progress is the way forward,” The Times of India quoted him as saying. PM Modi's statement, ,coming days after his meeting with China's Xi Jinping on the margins of the BRICS conference in Johannesburg, indicated India’s unease with its eastern neighbour amid rising tensions at the Line of Actual Control. As businesses want to diversify their manufacturing bases and lessen their reliance on China, India has recently tried to present itself as an appealing investment destination. Modi also warned of a new form of colonialism over the control of critical and rare minerals. “We are experiencing this challenge in critical minerals, rare earth. These are available in large quantities in some places and are missing in other places. But the entire mankind needs it. Those who have it and do not see it as a global responsibility, then it will promote a new model of colonialism,” he said. He advocated for taking an “integrated approach” to cryptocurrencies, a topic that India has prioritised for the upcoming G20 summit in September. He also touched upon the need for a global framework on cryptocurrency, which would cater to the interests of all stakeholders. PM Modi also raised issues about artificial intelligence, adding that some ethical questions needed to be addressed. In order to discover a solution, the Indian PM maintained that governments and the international business community must ensure proper attention towards ethical AI. WATCH WION LIVE HERE
