NEW YORK: Senior journalist Rajdeep Sardesai was first heckled and then pushed today near Madison Square Garden by a group gathered to support Prime Minister Narendra Modi, before the leader arrived at the venue to address Indian Americans.
Mr Sardesai tweeted, “Glad we caught the idiots on cam. Only way to shame the mob is to show them.”

Rajdeep is a great patriot, great nationalist and fiercely independent journalist. Whole nation is with him except a few gunda fascists .

After the PM’s landmark address to a crowd of 18,000 at Madison Square Garden, Mr Sardesai tweeted, “Super speech by Modi; not so super behaviour by some bhakts. Guess some things won’t change.”
