I had said world would queue for Indian visa: PM on US visa denial
During a conversation with Zerodha's Nikhil Kamath, PM Narendra Modi said, "America had refused me a visa [when I was Gujarat's CM]." "I held...press conference that day and said 'One day the world would stand in line for an Indian visa'. This was my statement in 2005, and today we're standing in 2025...now the time is of India," he said.
