"Excellent meeting with Nobel laureate Abhijit Banerjee. His passion towards human empowerment is clearly visible. We had a healthy and extensive interaction on various subjects. India is proud of his accomplishments. Wishing him the very best for his future endeavours," Modi tweeted posting a photograph of himself and Banerjee on Twitter.
Banerjee also spoke about his meeting with the PM and remarked that the PM is aware of media’s attempts to get Banerjee to say ‘anti-Modi things’.
