Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi's keynote address at the prestigious Wharton India Economic Forum later this month was cancelled today under pressure from multiple stakeholders.
"We do not endorse any political views and do not support any specific ideology. Our goal as a team is only to stimulate valuable dialogue on India's growth story," the Forum said in a statement today.
Modi was invited to deliver the kenote address at the Forum to be held in Philadelphia on March 22-23 via videoconference.
"As it stands currently, Mr.Modi's keynote address at Wharton India Economic Forum has been cancelled," the statement said.
The Forum is an annual student-run India-centric conference hosted by the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
