PM Modi's first remark amid Trump's H-1B visa fee hike to $1,00,000: ‘Our biggest enemy is…’
Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasised India’s need for self-reliance as US President Donald Trump increased the H-1B visa fee to $100,000 (approximately ₹88 lakh) annually – H-1B is used extensively by high-tech workers, especially from India. In its first remark after the H-1B visa fee hike, PM Modi said India's biggest enemy is dependence on other countries.
PM Modi said, “Today, India is moving forward with the spirit of 'Vishwabandhu'. Duniya mein koi hamara bada dushman nahi hai. Agar hamara koi dushman hai toh woh hai dusre deshon par hamari nirbharta [We have no major enemy in the world. Our biggest enemy is our dependence on other countries]."
