Russian President Vladimir Pu-
Itin on Thursday heaped praise on
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, say-
ing that he cannot be intimidated or
forced to take decisions that are con-
trary to national interests. “I cannot
imagine that Modi could be intimi-
dated, intimidated or forced to take
any actions, steps and decisions that
are contrary to the national interests
of India and the Indian people. And

way, he and I never even talk about
this. I just look at what is happening

be honest, I’m even surprised at his
tough position on defending the na-
tional interests of the Indian state,”
the Russian President’s Office quoted
Putin as saying at the 14th VTB In-
vestment Forum ‘Russia Calling’.
Putin’s comments came just
four days after Modi’s BJP swept the
elections in three states in the Hindi
