BR Shetty's 'Global Business Summit' a failure: Media reports
Slogans praising PM Modi raised in 'apolitical' summit
Dubai: The NRI Global Business Summit which was organised under the leadership of prominent Indian businessman and NRI, BR Shetty was reportedly failed to attract NRI community and was an absolute failure, according to reports of Malayalam new channel ‘Jai hind’
The organisers of the summit had said that they were expecting about 5000 people to participate in the summit. It had stirred a controversy after banners of the summit were shared. The banners read ‘Hum bhi Chowkidar’. The organisers later clarified that it was apolitical event and refuted reports of affiliation to the BJP. The name of the event was later changed to ‘Naya Bharat’.
The rumors of the summit being orchestrated by the BJP in the wake of forthcoming Lok Sabha Election started doing rounds when close aide of Prime Minister Narendra Modi attending the program was confirmed by the organisers. Moreover, attendees praising and sloganeering in favour of PM Modi ahead of commencing the summit only fuelled the fire to such rumors.
The ‘Hum bhi Chowkidar’ tagline and rumors however failed to drawn people and guests to the event. None of the leading NRI businessmen in UAE participated in the program. Several issues and topics were discussed on the dias during the event, but hundreds of seats remained unoccupied as the Chief Guest delivered its address. A report in ‘Jai Hind’ stated.
Amidst all this, several questions were raised on organizing of such an event to promote one political party in Dubai, where thousands of Indians have over the years stayed together and united setting aside caste, creed, religion and political ideas. Organising of such events can definitely change the scenario among the Indian living abroad and can impact the friendly relations between Indians in place like Dubai.
