Away from home, PM Modi pays tribute to Nehru on tweeter
PM Modi tweeted from Brisbane saying: “Today we mark the 125th birth anniversary of our first Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. My tributes to him. We remember Pandit Nehru’s efforts during the freedom struggle and his role as the first Prime Minister of India.”
Modi reached Brisbane to attend the annual G20 summit. He also visited the Queensland University of Technology where he interacted with students.
According to a tweet by the ministry of external affairs spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin, the PM also wrote on an Agricultural robot in Hindi: “Research is the mother of development”.
The Agro Robot is a light weight machine that performs the functions of a large tractor including weeding, media reports said.
Earlier, the Congress had alleged that the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was ignoring Nehru’s 125th birth anniversary. They also did not invite PM Modi for the two-day Nehru conference to which some 55 political parties and world leaders were invited.
