Venkaiah Naidu calls upon Indian diaspora to counter false propaganda against India

Vice President M. Venkaiah Naidu has called upon the Indian diaspora to effectively counter false propaganda and negative narrative about India, particularly in the wake of the recent reorganization of Jammu and Kashmir.

He was speaking in New Delhi yesterday after releasing the Coffee Table Book titled 'Glorious Diaspora- Pride of India' containing brief profiles of the recipients of Pravasi Bharatiya Samman Awards from 2003



to 2019.  He said the overseas Indians must create awareness in the countries of their stay that the dilution of Article 370 was purely an internal administrative measure and aimed at accelerating the development of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh. 

The Vice President said the Pravasi Bharatiyas must effectively counter such falsehoods and project the correct image of India.
