Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday told an ecstatic crowd of around 50,000 Indians at a public reception here that he was "witnessing a mini India" and saluted them.
"My dear countrymen, I salute you. You are the people who used your labour for 10-15-20 years to earn your livelihood and also kept the flag of India flying high," he said, to cries of "Modi, Modi".
