Dr Oberoi said that PM Modi had the credit of opening of Kartapur Corridor, celebrating Gurpurabs at the national level, revoking of GST on the Golden Temple langar and allowing FCRA, scrapping of the blacklist, laying the foundation stone of the ropeway project from Govindghat to Hekmund Sahib etc.

His Highness Sheikh Mohammad Bin – Maktoum Bin Jumma Al – Maktoum, Chairman MBM Group said “India is a country of diversity, which has people with diverse beliefs, communities, and languages, but, under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi, the world looks India as One Nation with One Mission, One Vision, and One Family".

The member of the royal family of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammad Bin Jumma Al – Maktoum said, “Indian diaspora has played a crucial role in the development of Dubai City as a world-class destination for business, tourism, and other areas. Indians have contributed to making Dubai a City of Dreams ever since they came here a long time when it was not even a city”.
