Reverberating with the chants of 'Bharat Mata ki Jai' and praises for Prime Minister Modi, Houston's NRG stadium was jam-packed with as many as 50,000 Indian-Americans, making it one of the largest events organised for PM Modi. The India-US cultural harmony was put on display through performances by around 400 artists and community members from Texas.In the video shared by the Prime Minister’s office’s official handle, the two leaders, whose bonhomie became the highlight of the event, are seen walking and interacting with a group of young performers. From within the group, a young boy requested the US president for a selfie, to which Trump obliged and posed with PM Modi.
Union Minister Anurag Thakur also tweeted the video, asking people to post pictures of the 'epic selfie' and Twitter did not disappoint.@ianuragthakur Here you go @ianuragthakur ������ https://t.co/kGD6FjOySc
