New Delhi [India], July 9 (ANI): Congress General Secretary Incharge of Communication, Jairam Ramesh on Wednesday launched a fresh attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said that the Super Premium Frequent Flier PM is in Namibia today.
PM Modi is travelling to Namibia for a State visit at the invitation of President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah. It will be PM Modi first visit to Namibia, and the third ever Prime Ministerial visit from India to Namibia.


In a post on X, the Congress leader said, On his return journey back home after his sojourn in Ghana, Trinidad & Tobago, Argentina, and Brazil, the Super Premium Frequent Flier PM is in Namibia today
The Congress leader stated that Namibia emerged as an independent country on March 21, 1990. For many years, India had provided extensive support to Sam Nujoma and the South West Africa People Organisation (SWAPO) that spearheaded the freedom movement there under his leadership. Jawaharlal Nehru had ensured that Nujoma attended the First Non-Aligned Summit in Belgrade in September 1961, he recalled.
He further mentioned that Nujoma first came to India in March 1983 - at Indira Gandhi invitation - to attend the Seventh Non-Aligned Summit,adding that Summit triggered a series of crucial moves and Nujoma returned to New Delhi to open SWAPO first ever embassy anywhere on May 24, 1986. A few months later, in August 1986, he had conferred with Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi at the Eighth Non-Aligned Summit in Harare, the Congress leader recalled.
Nujoma was the President of Namibia till March 2005. A few years earlier, in Feb 2000, he established the Indira Gandhi Clinic (the name he chose personally) in Okakao, about 800 kms north of the capital Windhoek. Over the years, the clinic has been supported by the Govt of India, he said.
PM Modi was on a State Visit to Brazil at the invitation of Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. During his visit, PM Modi held a meeting with President Lula and attended the BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro. PM Modi also held bilateral meetings with several world leaders on the sidelines of the BRICS Summit.
President Lula conferred Brazil highest civilian honour, the Grand Collar of the National Order of the Southern Cross, on PM Narendra Modi. PM Narendra Modi received a warm ceremonial welcome at the Alvorada Palace in Brazil on Tuesday. (ANI)
