Won't allow acts of intolerance, says Modi: Top 5 takeaways

The Indian PM is on a three day visit to UK and he started the visit by laying down a road map for India-UK ties with British PM David Cameron

PM Narendra Modi is on a three-day visit to the United Kingdom. Along with British Prime Minister David Cameron, he laid down the road map for the India-UK ties and answered some tough questions from the British media.
 
1) Intolerance: The first question that was asked to PM Modi was on the much talked-about 'intolerance'. Modi assured that any small unrest was a cause of worry for his government and that he would not allow any acts of intolerance in India.  He also mentioned that India is a land where Gautam Buddha was born and it follows his message of peace and harmony.   

 
2) UK Visa Permit: The next question on why Modi wasn't allowed to visit the UK before he became the prime minister of India wasn't a comfortable one for either leader. Modi refuted the charge and said that there were no sanctions on his visit to the UK and that in fact he had visited in 2003. Cameron, who had answered the question first, said that in the past there were some legal issues but the UK government had not restricted Modi's visit.    
 

3) Economy: Both the leaders in their speeches talked about helping each other strengthen their economies. Cameron said that Britain supports 700,000 Indian jobs and similarly Indian companies create jobs in the UK. Both the leaders said that projects worth 9 billion pounds were discussed in their bilateral meeting earlier in the day. Cameron also announced the issuance of the British government-backed rupee-denominated bonds.

 
4) UN Security Council: The British Prime Minister also confirmed that his country firmly supported a permanent seat for India in the UN Security Council.  
 
5) Digital India / Make In India: Both the leaders said that they discussed PM Modi's Make In India, Digital India, Smart Cities and Skill India projects. The British Prime Minister said that the projects undertaken by PM Modi were ambitious and the UK would support India in all of them. He added that these initiatives would boost business ties between the two countries.
