Tue Dec 24 08:54:51 UTC 2024: ## Indian PM Modi and US Singer Exchange Christmas Greetings Amidst Praise for Leader’s Actions
**NEW DELHI/WASHINGTON D.C.** – Prime Minister Narendra Modi and American singer Mary Millben exchanged Christmas greetings on Tuesday, with Millben praising Modi for publicly honoring Jesus Christ at a Christmas celebration in India. Millben, an African-American singer and actress known for her outspoken admiration for the Indian Prime Minister, took to X (formerly Twitter) to express her gratitude following Modi’s attendance at a Christmas event hosted by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of India (CBCI).
Modi, in response, reiterated the importance of fostering love, harmony, and brotherhood, echoing the teachings of Jesus Christ. This exchange follows a previous meeting between the two in June 2023 during Modi’s US state visit, where Millben famously performed the Indian national anthem and sought Modi’s blessings.
Millben’s support for Modi extends beyond this recent interaction. She has previously lauded his leadership on several occasions, including praising the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), advocating for stronger US-India diplomatic ties, commending his efforts towards women’s empowerment, and expressing confidence in his handling of the Manipur situation. She has consistently voiced her affection for India and its people.
At the CBCI event in Delhi on Monday, Modi condemned violence and highlighted the message of love and harmony central to the teachings of Jesus Christ. He also used the opportunity to condemn the recent terror attack at a Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany.
