Dublin / New Delhi / Chandigarh June 24 (KNS): BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh today interacted with members of the Indian diaspora and workers of the Overseas Friends of BJP Ireland unit during his visit to Dublin. The meeting focused on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of a “Developed India” and the vital role of the Indian diaspora in achieving this goal.
Chugh made a fervent appeal for a united global war against terrorism, asserting that the world must ensure that innocent lives are not sacrificed to the designs of terror outfits.
Paying tribute to the 329 innocent passengers of the Air India Kanishka flight who lost their lives in a terror attack in 1985, Chugh called for the realization of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s global vision of a terror-free world. “Terrorism, in whatever form it emerges, must be condemned without compromise. The world must come together to cut off its financial lifelines and eliminate this menace from its roots,” he said.
Speaking to the Indian diaspora at the Embassy of India in Dublin, Chugh emphasized that the tragic Kanishka bombing was not just an attack on India, but on humanity. He reiterated that under the leadership of PM Modi, India has taken bold, decisive steps to counter terrorism and has emerged as a leading voice on global anti-terror platforms.

Chugh stated that India has become the world's fourth-largest economy and is moving forward rapidly in sectors like manufacturing, services, and exports. “This progress has been made possible not just by those living in India, but by the contributions of our vibrant global diaspora as well,” he noted.
He said Prime Minister Modi’s foreign policy has elevated India’s image globally and ensured respect for every Indian citizen abroad. The active participation of India in global forums today reflects its growing stature as a decisive, development-driven power.
