Very few seats were occupied and none applauded the speech, he says
Former Union Finance Minister P. Chidamabaram on Sunday took a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra (UNGA) pointing out that very few seats were occupied and none applauded the speech.
On Saturday, Prime Minister Modi had addressed the UNGA during which he described India as “the mother of all democracies” and covered a range if issues: from COVID-19 to the emerging security scenario in Afghanistan.
“I was disappointed that only a few seats were occupied when PM Modi addressed the U.N. General Assembly. And even more disappointed that no one applauded,” Mr. Chidambaram tweeted.
