Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Queen Elizabeth II on the second day of his high-profile official visit to Britain.
In that visit PM Modi talking in a press meet, he said that both in India and Britain are having a very good relation between them.
“In a country that has suffered a lot because of corruption and misadministration, Modi is regarded as someone who is a clean politician and is somebody who delivers”, said Manoj Ladwa of the Europe India Forum, which organized the Wembley rally.
Ahead of the Indian prime minister’s London trip, activists belonging to the U.K.-based Awaaz Network said that they projected an image of Modi along with the words “Not Welcome” and a swastika-style “om” symbol on the Palace of Westminster Sunday night.

“In a country of 1.2 billion people, every incident that happens is a serious incident for us and we do not tolerate such incidents of violence at all”, the Indian Prime Minister responded when asked why India had become an increasingly intolerant place.
Modi also spoke before Britain’s House of Commons in Parliament on Thursday, had dinner at Cameron’s 16th-century Buckinghamshire mansion and Friday, was greeted by the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh at Buckingham Palace. Unlike the United States, which had refused a visa for Modi, Britain had not barred him from visiting the country but remained cold to him for 10 years. Cameron hosted Modi for what has been described as an “intimate dinner” last evening after a power-packed day that included delegation-level talks, an address to MPs and a speech at the financial hub of London.
Almost 200 figures have signed an open letter urging David Cameron to raise “the rising climate of fear” in India with his counterpart Narendra Modi. “India has suffered on the streets of Mumbai, and we have suffered on the streets of London”.

Modi was effectively banned from Britain until three years ago over anti-Muslim riots which killed more than 1,000 people in 2002, when he was the chief minister of Gujarat.
