PM Modi announces new flight between Delhi-Mumbai-Tel Aviv, eases rules for OCI cards

India TV News  

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday announced to start a new flight service connecting Delhi, Mumbai and Tel Aviv. Amid thunderous applause, PM Modi also announced that people of Indian origin in Israel will get the Overseas Citizen of India cards even if they have undergone the compulsory army service there. The Indian government has simplified the rules and even those who have undergone the compulsory military service in Israel will get the OCI cards, the prime minister said to the cheering by the crowd. Modi said the Jewish nation had links with India dating back to centuries but the fact that no Indian prime minister had travelled here in 70 years "raises questions", an apparent swipe at the previous governments of India. "For the first time in 70 years, an Indian prime minister has landed here to seek your blessings," he said amid chants of "Modi, Modi".
