In Singapore, PM Modi flaunts drumming skills before Indian diaspora

New Delhi, Sep 4 (SocialNews.XYZ) Prime Minister Narendra Modi reached Singapore on Wednesday, as part of his two-nation tour and was given a warm welcome by the Indian diaspora on arrival.

PM Modi also shared some light moments with the Indian community, even as they came in large numbers to welcome him on arrival to the Southeast Asian nation.

PM Modi tried his hands at ‘dhol’ and displayed his drumming skills while the excited Indian diaspora cheered for him. A video of the heartwarming moment has also gone viral on social media.

Among other viral clips, PM Modi could be seen giving autographs to one of the individuals while others are trying to click selfies and photos with him.

A woman also tied rakhi to PM Modi’s wrist, amidst cheers from the excited crowd.
