New York: In a rare gesture, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today came out of his huge convoy to greet a large number of Indians who had gathered outside his hotel in New York to welcome him on his arrival to the US.
As a large convoy of vehicles came to the hotel he would be staying in till September 29 before moving to Washington, PM Modi came out and greeted people who had gathered there in a special enclosure made by local administration.
PM Modi greeted everyone with a namaste and also waved at the people, while walking across them outside the barricade of the enclosure and then walked inside the hotel.
He was greeted with 'Har Har Modi' slogan, heard first during Lok Sabha poll campaign. The Indians were also carrying placards with messages such as 'We love Modi' 'America loves Modi' 'Indian American loves Modi'.
They were also shouting slogans in support of Prime Minister Modi and were also chanting 'Vande Mataram' and 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai', besides the most largely-shouted 'Har Har Modi' chants.
Traffic was blocked before his arrival while pedestrians were also asked to take alternate route to cross the hotel lane in the busy Madison avenue area of New York city.
