He said the US did not “categorically” deny him visa rather, “they’ve only said my application is going through administrative process.

“Today, he (Modi) is being treated to red carpet treatment in America. I fly to different parts of the world, including Europe, if America wanted me, it would be so easy for them to reach out to their allies,” he said.
