“Guests are like god,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Monday in response to US President Donald Trump’s tweet in Hindi from on board Air Force One where he expressed his eagerness to visit India.

Trump is on a two-day visit to India.

“Atithi Devo Bhava,” Modi said on Twitter.

“We are eager to visit India. We are on our way and will soon be meeting all,” Trump, on board the special Air Force One aircraft along with his delegation, tweeted in Hindi earlier in the morning.

The US President is accompanied by First Lady Melania, daughter Ivanka, son-in-law Jared Kushner and the top brass of his administration.

Just before his departure, Trump said he had committed to visiting India a long time ago and is looking forward to be with the people of India. PTI

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
