“We performed the rituals to seek blessings for Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Trump as they begin their talks and to pray that they can work together to eradicate terrorism,” said Hindu Sena chief Vishnu Gupta.
Meanwhile, members of various Left outfits and women’s groups protested a few metres away at the same venue against Trump’s visit, saying it does not augur well for India.
