'India’s beautiful Triumphal Arch', says Trump with pic of India Gate on social media
New York (PTI): Describing the India Gate in New Delhi as “India’s beautiful Triumphal Arch”, US President Donald Trump said a similar monument in America will be “the greatest of them all.”
The 42 metre high India Gate, an “Arc-de-Triomphe", honours the memory of the 70,000 Indian soldiers who were killed fighting for the British Army during World War I and the Third Anglo-Afghan War.
“India’s beautiful Triumphal Arch. Ours will be the greatest of them all!” Trump said in a post on Truth Social, posting a photograph of the iconic Indian monument.
While talking to reporters onboard Air Force One over the weekend, Trump had said that his administration is considering building an arc, similar to the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
“For 200 years, they wanted to build an arc. They have 57 cities throughout the world that have them. We're the only major city, Washington, DC, that doesn’t,” he said, adding that the arc that will be built in Washington “will be the most beautiful in the world.”
Trump said he is setting up a committee for the construction of the arc.
“I'd like it to be the biggest one of all. We're the biggest, most powerful nation. I'd like it to be the biggest one….the arc, I think it's going to be great. We're just setting up a committee now,” he said.

Assam Police at Pawan Khera's residence in national capital, Delhi Police assisting
New Delhi (PTI): An Assam Police team on Tuesday is at the Delhi residence of Congress leader Pawan Khera for questioning in connection with a case linked to allegations made against Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and his family, official sources said.
The team formally informed Delhi Police upon arrival, following which a local police team joined and is assisting in the proceedings, the source said.
The development comes amid a political tussle after Sarma alleged that the Congress used "false information" sourced from a Pakistani social media group to level charges against his wife regarding multiple passports and overseas assets. He termed the allegations an attempt to influence the Assam elections and a punishable offence.
Khera had recently sought clarifications on Sarma's wife's alleged foreign assets, prompting a complaint and subsequent police action.
