Uniondale, New York: Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s craze in America is tremendous. For the Prime Minister’s address program to be held in New York on September 22, almost twice the capacity of the community gathering has been sold. The Indo American Community of USA (IACU) announced that more than 24,000 Indian Americans have signed up to attend the community gathering “Modi & US” with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The event will be held at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, which has a capacity of just 15,000.
Registrations for the event have come through 590 community organizations, all of which have signed on as welcome partners from across the United States. Indian Americans from at least 42 states of America are expected to participate in the event. Modi & US promises to be an important gathering celebrating the interconnected diversity of the Indian American community. The attendees at the event will include a wide range of people from several religious communities including members of the Jewish, Parsi, Jain, Christian, Sikh, Muslim and Hindu communities. They also represent a significant cross section of India’s diverse languages including Hindi, Telugu, Punjabi, Tamil, Bengali, Malayalam, Gujarati and others.
PM Modi will address
The event is taking place just ahead of the US presidential election in November. Apart from Prime Minister Modi’s speech, it will also feature cultural programs by prominent Indian Americans from business, science, entertainment and the arts. But after more than 24 thousand registrations, general registration is now open for others. In this, 500 seats will be allotted through a lottery system.
A key organizer of the event said, “We are committed to ensuring that as many people as possible can participate in this historic event.” “We are going to try our best to expand the seating arrangements and coordinate with our welcome partners to prioritize final seat allocations to those who are most keen to attend.”
