Ahmedabad: After the 'snub' from Wharton,
Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi will on
Saturday address the Indian Diaspora in the
states of Edison, New Jersey, Chicago, Illinois, of
USA through a video conference facility. "Narendra Modi live speech, Edison, New Jersey,
Chicago, Illinois on March 09, 2013 from 7-9 pm
Eastern Standard Time (EST)," reads a scroll on the
website of the Overseas Friends of the BJP USA. "Narendrabhai will address the Indian diaspora
LIVE from Karnavati (Ahmedabad)," the portal
states. Two venues, namely, TV Asia Auditorium, 76
National Road, Edison, New Jersey, as well as
Holiday Inn, 3405 Algonquin Road, Rolling
Meadows, Illinois 60008, have been listed on the
website of the Overseas Friends of the BJP USA. On Sunday, the US Wharton School of Business
had cancelled the Gujarat CM's keynote address
slated for later this month, after an uproar from a
section of university professors and students,
triggering reactions in India. It led to the Gujarat-based Adani Group chairman
Gautam Adani, the platinum sponsor of the
Wharton Business School hosted Wharton India
Economic Forum (WIEF) event, withdrawing its
event sponsorship and opting out of the event. The Adani Group is perceived to enjoy a close
proximity to the Gujarat chief minister. As mark a of protest against cancelling Modi's
key note address, Shiv Sena leader Suresh Prabhu
also cancelled his visit to Wharton, saying it was
not only an insult to the Gujarat Chief Minister, but
also to the entire nation. Modi has addressed the Indian Diaspora in the US
through by video conference several times.
