‘From the people of India to..’: Why a chair made PM Modi emotional in Trinidad & Tobago parliament

In an emotional yet historic moment, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was seen holding back tears while addressing the Parliament of Trinidad and Tobago. As he paused midway through his speech, he recalled the powerful words etched on the Speaker’s Chair: ‘From the people of India to the people of Trinidad & Tobago’. The chair was gifted by India in 1968, a symbol of the enduring democratic bond and friendship between the two nations. PM Modi called it “not just a chair, but a representation of trust, legacy, and democratic tradition.” The moving moment highlighted the deep-rooted ties India shares with the Indian diaspora and the Caribbean nation’s historical connection to Indian culture and values. Watch as PM Modi’s heartfelt words echo through Red House, a site of struggle, now transformed into a temple of democracy and unity.#pmmodi #narendramodi #modiemotional #modiintrinidad #modiparliamentspeech #indiatrinidadties #bharatglobalreach #modidiplomacy #speakerchairgift #indiandiaspora #globalmodi #modihistoricspeech #toi #toibharat #bharat #trending #breakingnews #indianews
