Tragic news. Gen Rawat was a wise man, a brave soldier, a pioneer & a generous host to me only weeks ago. We mourn his death and that of his wife, and all killed in this terrible accident.
मैं प्रधान मंत्री मोदी से सहमत हूं कि योग ज्ञान, कर्म और भक्ति का एक आदर्श मिश्रण है।

अत्यंत दुखद समाचार। जनरल रावत एक समझदार इंसान, एक बहादुर फौजी एवम अपनी श्रेणी के पथ प्रदर्शक थे। कुछ ही हफ्तों पहले उनसे भेंट हुई थी। हम जनरल रावत, उनकी पत्नी और अन्य सभी जिनकी इस हादसे में जान गई है, उनके लिए दुख प्रकट करते है।
A pleasure to be with

What would you like to see in a 🇬🇧🇮🇳 trade deal?
🇬🇧 wants a deal that removes barriers to doing business with 🇮🇳 – creating jobs & driving economic recovery.
UK businesses can share inputs now 👇
Good news for those travelling from 🇮🇳 to 🇬🇧 - visit visas now within standard time of 15 working days (with a small number of trickier cases taking longer).
Great work by the visa teams across the world.
