India in constant touch with US authorities over anti-PM protests in Houston

NEW DELHI: India is in constant touch with the US State Department to ensure appropriate security for PM Narendra Modi in Houston amid protests allegedly orchestrated by Pakistan.

Pro-India activists on social media claim that scores of protestors are being brought in by organisers from mosques and Islamic centres in the region to rally against Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump.

There are a total of 17 pick-up points, with 16 of them next to mosques or Islamic centres. "See how this works yet? Mosques are not simple places of worship. They are places of co-ordination & control," tweeted Katie Hopkins, an England based media personality.


The Houston Police, the FBI, US Secret Service, and immigration authorities were tagged and mentioned in various tweets to point out that a place of worship is used to propogate a political agenda, and to expose the purported civil liberties and human rights abuse.

Indian authorities including Indian Embassy and local consulate are in constant touch with the State Department to prevent any security breach during PM's Sep 22 mega rally, ET has learnt.
