Indians In Australia Charter Flight To Sydney For PM Event, Call It ‘Modi Airways’

New Delhi: About 170 Indian-origin people took a chartered Qantas flight from Melbourne to Sydney to attend an event of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Members of the Indian Australian Diaspora Foundation (IADF), sporting tri-colour-themed turbans and waving national flags, danced their way to the flight named by the Prime Minister’s supporters as “Modi Airways”.

The Sydney event is being organised by IADF to celebrate Australia’s dynamic and diverse Indian community, “a core part of our multicultural community”, the Australian government said in a statement.

“A lot of people are waiting outside the event venue also, where they will be cheering for PM Modi,” Dr Amit Sarwal, co-founder of IADF was quoted as saying.

Prime Minister Modi will be meeting his Australian counterpart Anthony Albanese in Sydney tomorrow. He arrived here from Papua New Guinea, where he held talks with his counterpart James Marape and took stock of their bilateral relations.

PM Modi began his three-nation tour on Friday from Japan where he attended three sessions at the G7 summit following an invitation by Japanese counterpart Fumio Kishida.
