“Saluting the ‘Loh Purush’ (iron man)! PM Narendra Modi and Ugandan President Museveni unveil the bust of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel at the Indian community reception,” Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said in a tweet, which accompanied two photographs of the two leaders. In one of the photographs, Modi was seen bowing before Patel’s bust and folding his hands as Museveni looked on.

The Ugandan president remained present throughout the nearly 30-minute address of Modi and also spoke at the event. “Ugandan President Museveni was effusive in his praise for the Indian community in Uganda. In his address at the community reception, he praised them for their hard work and contribution in the economic development of Uganda,” the MEA spokesperson said. In his address, Modi lauded the contribution of the Indian community in the growth of Uganda. He thanked Museveni for re-embracing the Indian community. Modi arrived in Ugandan capital Kampala on Tuesday evening on a two-day visit to the country — the first bilateral tour by an Indian prime minister since 1997. With inputs from agencies.
