He had invited questions from the public, saying, “'Mann Ki Baat' with President @BarackObama will not be complete without your participation! Send your Qs till the 25th, using #AskObamaModi...AskObamaModi & be a part of this memorable ‘Mann Ki Baat' programme, illustrating a special bond between India &USA.”
