Modi recreates Madison square moment in Sydney's Allphones Arena

Prime Minister Narendra Modi received a resounding welcome by the 16,000 plus audience at the Allphones Arena as he took to the stage. Modi's appearance at the arena, which hosted the Rolling Stones last week, underscored the rock star status he enjoys among some Indians at home and abroad. He promised lifetime visas to people of Indian origin, repeating an offer he made to expatriates in the United States that would seek to strengthen cultural and business ties between overseas Indians and their home country.
