New York, Jul 9 (IANS): Indian Minorities Foundation (IMF) and The Unity of Faiths Foundation, Bharat (TUFF Bharat), hosted a 'Roundtable Meeting' focusing on inclusive growth and equal opportunities for all communities, especially minorities, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Indian religious leaders at the event celebrated the era of "India under Modi 3.0". Meanwhile, in Times Square, Indian-American minority communities marked Modi 3.0 and India's ascent under PM Modi with chants of 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai' and 'Modi, Modi, Modi'.

Participants at Times Square in New York expressed their enthusiasm and optimism about India’s growth trajectory under PM Modi's leadership. They conveyed their happiness and satisfaction with the functioning of the Modi government in India.
