Washington DC:  Asserting India's non-partisan stand to domestic American politics, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Monday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi used the term ‘Abki Baar Trump Sarkaar’ in the Houston rally, merely referring to what the US president had used to endear himself to the Indian American community during his presidential campaign.

Currently on a three-day trip to Washington DC, Jaishankar strongly refuted the notion that the prime minister used the phrase to endorse Trump's candidature for his 2020 re-election campaign.‘No, he did not say that,’ the minister said when asked during a news conference with Indian journalists about the implication of the prime minister purportedly using the slogan in his Houston address.
