Berlin, May 2 Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday expressed happiness after meeting the members of the Indian community in Berlin and said that India is proud of the accomplishments of its diaspora. “It was early morning in Berlin yet several people from the Indian community came by. Was wonderful connecting with them. India is proud of the accomplishments of our diaspora,” tweeted PM Modi. PM Modi, who arrived in Germany on the first leg of his three-day Europe visit, got a rousing welcome from the Indian diaspora in Berlin. The Prime Minister greeted members of the Indian community, who were awaiting his arrival at Hotel Adlon Kempinski in Berlin. Many children along with their parents were present at the hotel, waving their hands at the Prime Minister’s arrival. The people chanted “Vande Mataram” and “Bharat Mata ki Jai” on seeing the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister was all praises for a young Indian-origin boy as he sang a patriotic song on his arrival in Berlin. He also interacted with a little girl, Manya, who presented him with a portrait of his picture. He took a picture with Manya who called him her icon and also signed the portrait for her. “It was a wonderful experience meeting PM Modi. He is my icon. He signed the painting I made of him and said to me “Shabash”,” said Manya following her interaction with the prime minister. “PM Modi’s visit is like a dream for us Indian people living in Germany. We see how PM Modi is doing development in India and feel proud that our country is not behind any European country,” said Manya’s mother, adding that she feels lucky to see the Prime Minister in person.
