Pitroda answered the question of PM Modi and Trump.

 

"I don't understand the threat from China. I think the issue is often exaggerated because the US tends to define the enemy. I believe the time has come for all countries to cooperate, not confront."

The secret behind the Congress party's obsessive attraction towards China is hidden in the Congress-CCP MoU of 2008."
