New Delhi: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will take to the airwaves in a joint radio address with US President Barack Obama during his visit to India.
The duo will share their thoughts together on next episode of show titled "Mann ki Baat" ( Words From My Heart) on All India Radio, to be aired on 27 January, 2015.
While the show is usually broadcast in Hindi, it is unclear whether the US president will try to use in Hindi during the broadcast.
During his last visit to India in 2010, Mr. Obama addressed lawmakers in Parliament and concluded his speech with the cry “Jai Hind” or hail India.
In a post on his official Twitter account, Mr. Modi said the radio show would illustrate the special bond between the two nations and requested people to send in questions using #AskObamaModi by Jan. 25.
#AskObamaModi & be a part of this memorable 'Mann Ki Baat' programme, illustrating a special bond between India & USA.
